SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico - After years of indefinite confinement, many detainees at Guantanamo Bay say they feel they may never receive justice, according to transcripts of hearings obtained by The Associated Press. Fewer than one in five of detainees allowed a hearing last year even bothered to show up for it.

The frustrated words of men, some of whom admit to fighting with the Taliban but swear they would go peacefully home if released, illustrate the seething tension at a prison where hundreds are held without charges. The transcripts also underscore that the U.S. allegations against the men are often as difficult to substantiate as they are for the detainees to refute.

1. Their torturers have systematically alienated them from their attorneys

by insinuating that they are Jews, homosexuals, by hitting all those buttons. It's obscene. They are destroying human beings at Gitmo and they're doing it with the help of psychologists. :(

2. APA-approved psychologists. n/t

3. It is America's shame. How many Senators & Reps are

trying to change this horrible situation?

Does America have Habeous Corpus?
