Military prosecutor unbelievably asserts that rectal tears from being sodomized with a brush and raped with a garden hose during black-site CIA torture were actually caused by "a poor diet and constipation in his youth." @GitmoWatch@DPInfoCtr
Dr. Crosby says the prisoner has irritable bowel syndrome, and that he has other issues related to his rape with an object.
Prosecutor Jolly says isn't it true that some of his problem are dietary, like when he eats hummus.

Dr. Crosby says based on classified records and other information "it is my opinion" that Mr. Nashiri was "anally raped" in CIA custody. He was "sodomized with an object used to rectally feed him," she says, adding "there's no such thing as that." And also with a brush.
I'm no lawyer. And I'll need a minute to process that oral argument. But if your career takes you to a place where you're repeatedly telling the Supreme Court "Innocence isn't enough!" in a death penalty case...maybe the prestige isn't worth it.
it’s incredible, and I mean that in the literal sense, how far you can get if you’re a probably-not-dumb man with a ceaseless appetite for beclowning yourself
this concludes today’s Guantanamo stupidity, except lol nah there are Nashiri hearings happening down there as we speak. on the docket for this week: is DNA, like, a thing, and if so how do it work?
