And I say that is completely and utterly false and there is no way you can support that premise. Period.

There is equally no evidence to suggest that those inmates who claim to have been tortured were lying.
But you choose to believe whatever they say about the subject is true because you want to believe it.

Especially given they were not contained within due process.
Yea, it was not a police process it was a combat process.

So, why assume that an accusation from them is just a lie?
My assumption is that there is no way to really prove every accusation without a complete evaluation based on subject matter experts who deal with people like this. I am not saying they have lied only that until they are examined by said experts that we will never know.
