Try and fathom what they do to people who are subject to their hospitality for longer periods of time.
Also the point still stands that Yemeni was held for eleven years without ever being charged for a crime. He did not kill himself for fun and all who have stayed at the bay have made claims to having been tortured and physically abused just like he made some with substantial evidence to back it up.
Evidence would suggest he was pushed to it.
This cannot be ignored.
So now we have an article that Aljazeera disclaims and a video of unknown origins about a different prisoner, and based on those sources I'm supposed to believe that for 11 years the US tortured a man they knew to be an innocent know-nothing with no ties to Al Qeda or terror, in hopes that he would disclose intelligence information he was known not to have? Sorry, I just don't buy it. It is much more plausible that the article author simply has an axe to grind with the US, and that the Yemeni man had some involvement with Al Qeda, was picked up and imprisoned as a prisoner of war, and was caught in a situation where the US refused to return him to Yemen and no other country would take him.
