Peter, (02)
Yes, pardon me. I'm even using the presence of underscores in Ceryle
as a way (under certain circumstances) to denote "special" IDs, so
I should have remembered. Time to go out in the back garden and give
myself 50 lashes with an earthworm... (they seem to enjoy it). (03)

It's time to hold the Bush Administration responsible for
their war crimes in the International Criminal Court. Is
there any reason why they are not accountable to the world? (06)
"Guantánamo is only part of the network of US prisons overseas
that the Bush administration has created since 9/11.
[...]
In October 2002 the commander of the interrogation teams at
Guantánamo, pleads to be allowed to inflict more suffering
on the prisoners there.
[...]
Prisoners were hooded, threatened with rape, threatened with
torture, had pistols held to their heads, made to strip naked,
forced to eat pork and drink alcohol, beaten till they bled -
sometimes with implements, including a broom and a chair -
hung from doors by cuffed hands, deceived into thinking they
were to be electrocuted, ducked in toilet buckets, forced to
simulate masturbation, force to lie naked in a pile and be
photographed, urinated on, menaced and, in one case, severely
bitten by dogs, sodomised with a chemical light, ridden like
horses, made to wear women's underwear, raped, deprived of
sleep, exposed to the midday summer sun, put in stress positions
and made to lie naked, in empty concrete cells, in complete
darkness, for days on end." (07)
