Don't those terrorists know that night lights keep the monsters away? It's for their own safety!
I agree that there's considerable motivation for these guys to fabricate charges against them. On the other hand, there may well have been some overzealous guards who feel a bit of understandable hostility toward these guys. I know that I would be feeling somewhat hostile if I were in a room with them.
Also--if the U.S. didn't have those problems at Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib, it seems to me that it would be easier to dismiss their complaints out of hand. Just pointing out that by not holding themselves to a higher moral standard, the US gives ammunition to the enemy.
And jofm--you don't need to send these guys to Syria to get tortured--sending them to the US would probably work just as well.
