Here’s tonight’s Bizarre Medical Experiments thread: Frenchmen Say Guantanamo Detention Was Like Hell.

PARIS (Reuters) - Two Frenchmen described as hell Friday their more than two years of detention in the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay, their lawyer said after meeting them for the first time.

Mourad Benchellali and Nizar Sassi had concerns “about the interrogation techniques and medical experiments” at Guantanamo, Jacques Debray said outside the headquarters of the DST domestic intelligence service where the two men were being questioned.

A letter from Sassi said “bizarre” medicines had been given to inmates at night and that one caused some prisoners to break out in spots, Debray told reporters. He gave no other details.

“Each of (the two men) used the same expression, ‘We have emerged from hell’,” Debray said.

But on the other hand, the great philosopher F. Zappa once said, “There is no hell. There is only France.”

UPDATE at 7/30/04 6:22:37 pm:

This Nazi-like news of bizarre medical experiments (I think we should get used to calling them BME for short) is going to cause quite a stir in the caverns of the Morlocks.

After all, Bush = Hitler, right? Here’s the proof.

Expect serious derangement. This should be great.

I knew Jimi (Hendrix) and I think that the best thing you could say about Jimi was: there was a person who shouldn't use drugs. -- From the second of two FZ interviews which were transcribed from an imported CD called "The Frank Zappa Interview Picture Disk". Conducted sometime in early to mid 1984.
