This is an ‘html-only’ version of Scribblings with no database behind it. This means it is not possible to search it. I am working on a new version with which I am hoping to eventually put back into the main site. The new version is here but please note that there is no link directly back to the main site.

Guantánamo abuse videoed
The fuss about the torture in Iraqi prisons has rather obscured news of the goings on at Guantánamo Bay. Now one of the British men, Tarek Dergoul, who was released without charge in March after spending 22 months in the place has spoken to The Observer about what is going on there. Mr Dergoul’s account makes disturbing reading.
Tarek says the abuses at Guantánamo were often videoed, a fact confirmed by a Guantánamo Joint Task Force spokesman, Lieutenant Colonel Leon Sumpter. Since the US government will presumably say it has nothing to hide then what possible harm can come of either releasing the videos or at least showing them to an independent body such as the Red Cross or Human Rights Watch?
An apology
Since moving the site to a new server Scribblings is not as easy to find your way around as it used to be. It used to depend on a script and a database on the server but is currently served as ‘flat html’.
I have some ideas about how to make it a bit easier but they depend on writing another script. I hope to get around to it ‘eventually’.
