Akhtiar was beaten in Guantanamo, not by American guards looking for vital information that would save American lives -- just exactly like Jack Bauer -- but by other prisoners who knew he wasn't one of them.
According to McClatchy, "instead of confining terrorists, Guantanamo often produced more of them by rounding up common criminals, conscripts, low-level foot solders and men with no allegiance to radical Islam -- thus inspiring a deep hatred of the United States..."
"As far as intelligence value from those in Gitmo...their material was essentially worthless," a U.S. intelligence officer said.
From all the howling and wailing about the Supreme Court's ruling, one would think that the Court has ordered that henceforth American soldiers must be preventing from shooting anyone, but rather gather up enemies of the United States, bring them in for long, expensive court hearings, and then sentence them all to counseling in country club prisons. Let's get real. The bumper sticker is closer to right:
WE'RE CREATING ENEMIES FASTER THAN WE CAN KILL THEM
