Tell that to Dilawar's family: (link is source)

Maybe we should also tell this to the people who died during Sept/11. Lets not forget all of the Iraqis that have been butchered, ethnically cleansed, beheaded and tortured by terrorists..

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

does col herrington say the detainees are being tortured? not at all, nowhere does he make that claim. again he only states his opinion on the effectiveness of torture

Tell that to Dilawar's family: (link is source)

The findings of Mr. Dilawar's autopsy were succinct. A death certificate for Dilawar, aged 22, from Yakubi in eastern Afghanistan, and signed by Major Elizabeth Rouse, pathologist with the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology in Washington, states that the cause of death was "blunt-force injuries to lower extremities complicating coronary artery disease".[2]

The military had publicly claimed that Dilawar had died from natural causes.

emphasis added.

By the way, Mr. Dilawar was NOT a terrorist but a taxi driver in the wrong place at the wrong time!

Four days before, on the eve of the Muslim holiday of Id al-Fitr, Mr. Dilawar set out from his tiny village of Yakubi in a prized new possession, a used Toyota sedan that his family bought for him a few weeks earlier to drive as a taxi.

emphasis added

Unlike erekose's shopkeeper, Mr. Dilawar did not survive long enough to be released.

Dilawar, arrived as a prisoner at the Bagram prison in Afghanistan on December 5, 2002, and was declared dead on December 10, 2002.

again emphasis added

There's a whole list of those the Amnesty site, BTW.
