Guantanamo - Guidebook.

How can we ever be the leader of the civilized world when our government acts like the government we sanction for their Human Right Violation.

British Channel 4 engaged the Team Delta Cadre to recreate the Guantanamo Bay interrogation experience.

At the production company’s request, along with Team Delta’s standard interrogation approach, the cadre reenacted several events reported at Guantanamo.

In most cases, these reenacted events were counterproductive to the interrogation plan developed by Team Delta. This plan had learned 80% of the requested intelligence within the first few hours of capture.

Prisoner 73 on his experience:
Total deprivation of sleep, food and water.
Exposure to extreme heat and cold.
Up to 20 minutes in stress positions.
Up to 2 hours listening to white noise…

Plus, any other interrogation technique deemed acceptable by the interrogation team’ By any standards, the waiver I signed for “Guantanamo Guidebook” was unique. Two weeks later, when I was lying naked, shaved, shackled in a ball on the floor, with a hood over my head, listening to white noise with a cold fan at my back, I realized just how simple the term was ‘informed consent’ can be.

"Two weeks earlier I had received an e-mail looking for students who would be willing to participate in a Channel Four documentary investigating US interrogation practices for Terror detainees held in Cuba.
I was to be one of seven male volunteers from various backgrounds – three Muslims: a father of two, a youth worker, and a recent graduate; plus Britain’s fittest Fireman, a triathlete, Britain’s Thai Kickboxing Champion and me, a plucky Oxford undergraduate finalist in philosophy and politics.
The test was to see how we fared in a simulation of up to 60 hours under a team of retired US army interrogators, led by a founding member of Delta Force, who used the techniques officially sanctioned for Guantanamo detainees to extract information about us and make us confess to the scenarios we had acted out with the production company the week before. We were to withhold information and endure."

Martin Luther King and equal rights, what have we done since?

Would you have the courage to enter a segregated dinner, sit at the counter, and order? Would you volunteer to be a freedom rider and travel to the South to test the new laws and face angry mobs? Would you march and be ready to die facing an open bigot City Hall and police department? What have we done with the rights handed to us? Would you die for your beliefs like 37 -years-old NAACP field secretary Medgar Evers , murdered outside his Mississippi home, or like the 3 young students ( James E. Chaney, 21; Andrew Goodman, 21; and Michael Schwerner , 24 ) who had been working to register black voters in Mississippi . We are under the impression that slavery and segregation have been abolished. Is it? Today's Urban Cities are the new social and economic face of segregation. It is another way to separate those who have from those who have not. The new slavery is the hopelessness of the urban youth, the separation between poor urban public education and everywhere else.

2012 Mayan Calendar 'Doomsday' Date Might Be Wrong

This article should get some of us more rational regarding the big hype about 2012, Planet X, and Doomsday... being reasonable is the hardest thing to do when overcome with extreme feelings of fear, despair, or even rapture. So open your mind to the idea that it could all be a spook, and we will all laugh about it on December 22, 2012. Otherwise, would you want to be the one to clean up the mess that Doomsday will leave behind? Would you want to survive Doomsday? Leave your comment: The Mayans Never Predicted the Doomsday Before continuing, it's worth emphasizing that this mesoamerican calendar (used by several cultures -- including the Maya -- in Central and South America before European colonization) does not predict an apocalypse. It never did, despite what the movie "2012" told us . The Mayan civilization existed from 250-900 A.D. in the current geographical location of southern Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, El Salvador, and some of Honduras. Archaeologists...
