Er, sorry Teribus, but according to the Observer article, they were being systematically beaten, as well as being tortured using a variety of techniques, some more subtle than others (sleep deprivation, food rationing etc).

"In the case of the detainees at Guantanamo, they were captured in the course of an armed struggle" So? Does that mean they have no rights at all? That they deserve to have their rights taken away from them because a man with a gun says so? That's not justice - it's the same sort of oppression the two silly B's claim so much to despise.

Guantanamo has nothing to do with justice, truth or morality, and is simply an instrument of oppression and revenge.
