Nick Fielding & Rahmullah Samander. Sunday Times 6.4.03. Article on the release of "co-operative" Afghani prisoners from Camp Delta, Cuba, that allows some insight into conditions. The tactics used by US interrogators include psychological techniques (sleep deprivation, physical and verbal threats) while those considered more violent are likely to be drugged to knock them out for days on end. Women prisoners, it is alleged by those released, were stripped in front of US male soldiers. On their return to Afghanistan some of the released prisoners claim that they were handed over to Kabul police who beat them for a period of two or three days.
