UK: Guantánamo Bay returnees say police questions were 'charade'. [Guardian Unlimited] 'Jamal al-Harith told how US soldiers brought in prostitutes to the camp, and paraded them naked in front of the many devout Muslims. The 37-year-old also claimed he was kicked, punched and assaulted with batons.

He told the Daily Mirror that detainees were shackled for up to 15 hours at a time in hand and leg cuffs with metal links to the skin. Mr Harith said punishment beatings were meted out by guards and prisoners were subjected to pyschological torture and mind games in an effort to break them.

Few if any of the Britons freed from Guantánamo Bay answered questions from UK anti-terrorism officers before their release without charge, it has emerged.'
