Welcome again to everybody! Please sit down, stay awhile and enjoy our groups most honoured tradition, our weekly discussion thread! Oh and if you find the giant spoon, please let me know, I seem to have miss placed it when changing the thread over this week.

    His title was of a human rights lawyer to make sure the conditions in gitmo were humane, and up to international law standards. He got people to tell him which torture methods were the most painful, then instead of getting them eliminated he told the torturers to escalate certain methods. He took pleasure in their pain. Previously, force feeding was done only lightly and relatively not painfully (through injection through nose), after Desantis, the syringes for force feeding were sharp and it was done more roughly, and people were left with nose bleeds. I could go on, It was worse with other methods of torture. If you want more information check out the podcasts the Eyes Left podcast made on it.
