Another Sensitive Gitmo Manual Leaked Online
Wired (h/t Rachel P.)
Wikileaks has published a second leaked Standard Operating Procedures manual that provides detailed instructions about how guards at Guantanamo's Camp Delta were instructed to treat detainees at the military prison in 2004. Like the 2003 Gitmo manual that Wikileaks published last month, this document is unclassified but still contains significant information about the isolation of prisoners, the use of dogs at Guantanamo, and forms of punishment for detainees. Wikileaks editor Julian Assange has put together a handy side-by-side comparison showing changes between the 2003 and 2004 documents.
Wikileaks also published a second document this week that details instructions for dealing with rendition flights involving the air transport of detainees. The document includes a diagram [pictured above] of an airplane used for renditions. The document is fairly large and Wikileaks hasn't had time to analyze it. Therefore the organization is asking readers to help them review it and post interesting findings.
A national disgrace. Guantanamo embarrasses me.
Wel if Wikileaks would like some help...what the heck...these all are worth reading...and I do want to help them , they are providing such a service....( hmm, maybe we can find the Constitution there)....thanks for posting this...
i don't know about you, but GOD-DAMN it makes me want to get up and SING!!!
I'm proud to be an American
where at least I know I'm free,
And I won't forget the men who died
who gave that right to me,
And I gladly stand up next to you
and defend her still today,
'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land
God Bless the U.S.A.!!!!
Cool site. First time I saw it was this afternoon. Pretty horrible content. Criminal behavior as official Army policy.
Old Billy @ 1:
Does this embarrass you as well?

Or is it OK because Israel (your home) is doing it, not your "host" country the U.S.?
Guantanamo: Terrorist Graduate School. If they're not terrorists, they will be when or if they leave.
It looks like the lower level insiders are finally getting so sick of this crap that they're willing to take chances to deliver this info to the press. The trickle of documents seems to be on the way to becoming a stream and hopefully will become a river that will wash bush's military and security advisers away. Thank you to all the folks willing to get this stuff out to the public, and screw most of (not all of) the MSM for refusing to come to terms with this information.
I like how the detainees are listed as "cargo" in that diagram. It's like they're fucking livestock or something. Cute.
Thank goodness for these leaks and whistle-blowers.
Check this out:
"UNPRIVILEGED ENEMY COMBATANT. An enemy combatant who is not entitled to protected status under the laws and customs of war, (e.g., the Geneva Conventions of 1949) such as a member or agent of al Qaeda, the Taliban, or another international terrorist organization against which the United States is engaged in an armed conflict."

That's a war crime I do believe. Human rights do not have borders or other prerequisites.
This 'document' doesn't prove anything, could be doctored...this has to be met with reservation.
Blue Buddha @ 8:
Sound familiar?? transporting people in cattle cars has already happened in our relatively recent past... if there's any doubt about who thinks they're in control, this removes it for me.
Reality_Check @ 11:
Has wikileaks been accurate in the past? I have a hard time taking anything with "wiki" in the title 100% accurate.
The don't really understand the items. What is a belly chain and why do they need 300? I guess it is good that they have 2500 mittens if their hands get cold. Right?
Who are these 6 extra "cargo" detainese?
Hmm... the part that interests me is that in the legend there is a reference to "combat camera" whatever that is. Perhaps it is a lay-over from a previous incarnation of this diagram in which the transportation of detainees that has some video recordings.
right on! @ 12:
'Cargo', slaveships called human beings cargo too.
The only positive I can think about looking at that image of the seating arrangement is imagining it as a seating arrangement for a future flight from DC to The Hague.
Cargo...holy shit.
As soon as I can find an email address, I'm going to forward these links/documents to the International Criminal Court at the Hague. We are not signatories, but that can't stop them from indicting Bush and his cronies for war crimes and crimes against humanity.
Just sent the following to the International Criminal Court at the Hague, Inqueries and Evidence Division:
"Greetings:
Somebody needs to looks at this. I understand that the US has withdrawn from the ICC, most likely for the express purpose of avoiding prosecution. However, it doesn't mean, I would think, that such a move would establish exemption or immunity for crimes committed against the global community. Given that as a reference point, you may find the following link interesting. I do not know how long it will be on the net before it is censored:

No response is needed or expected.
Thank you,"
I'm sure that my email was duly noted by the NSC.
Cargo? I assume that means the people who were kidnapped?
our government has been overtaken by eugenics and BDSM fetishists
The leak is a sure sign there are true Americans out there - and they're taking some pretty incredible risks to get the word out. That and the NIE report. If the White House finds out who leaked that they're dead meat.

Wiki is to encyclopedias and textbooks, as the internet is to news and media, as a court is to the legal system,
as truthful, as the evidence and sources presented, but at least they represent (mostly) an open process where the least of us can introduce claims and evidence. In this day and age, I'm glad Wiki exists.
Unlike the other venues, it is open to editing and revision, and has so far, mostly favored those contenders with the best evidence, sources and arguments.
The USA is despicable!!!
