'LONDON (Reuters) - Abuse of prisoners at Guantanamo Bay has worsened sharply since President Barack Obama took office as prison guards "get their kicks in" before the camp is closed, according to a lawyer who represents detainees.

Abuses began to pick up in December after Obama was elected, human rights lawyer Ahmed Ghappour told Reuters. He cited beatings, the dislocation of limbs, spraying of pepper spray into closed cells, applying pepper spray to toilet paper and over-forcefeeding detainees who are on hunger strike.

The Pentagon said on Monday that it had received renewed reports of prisoner abuse during a recent review of conditions at Guantanamo, but had concluded that all prisoners were being kept in accordance with the Geneva Conventions."

We should send CARE packages to the GITMO Marines.......put in such items as rolls of sandpaper (nothing finer than 80 grit), more pepper spray, vice-grips, jumper cables......and pincher's (you cowboys will know what I mean).

From what I am told, most captive Iraqi's don't use TP in Iraq...I wonder if it's the same way at Gitmo?

Either way, pepper spray on TP is pretty shitty.

There is a reason why they cut off the right hand for certain crimes.

How many here know why?

They eat with the right hand and wipe with the left.
