Nobody is treated that way. It is possible that something like that may have happened before my friends served there. I don't know. But nobody is treated that way today. The place is pristine.

blogs.usatoday.com What interests me is that upwards of 50% of these men were not captured in any type of hostile action against the US, and many of them were captured by other nations (like Pakistan) at a time when we were handing out bounties for captives. msnbc.msn.com "A senior Pakistani Interior Ministry official said investigators determined that most had been "sold" for bounties to U.S. forces by Afghan warlords who invented links between the men and al-Qaida. "We consider them innocent," said the official, who declined to be named because of the sensitivity of the issue. All 29 detainees who were repatriated to Britain, Spain, Germany, Russia, Australia, Turkey, Denmark, Bahrain and the Maldives were freed, some within hours after being sent home for "continued detention." Considering the continual and various blunders the US has committed in detaining and treating these often innocent men, you have to wonder just how much it matters that Gitmo may be cleaned up now, if it is. The false imprisonment aspect is just as problematic- maybe more problematic.
