According to the Associated Press, the military has acted quickly to stamp out a new form of brutal US torture against Guantanamo terrorists, much worse than panties, loud music, or the dreaded pink belly: insensitivity.

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico - A news report about Saddam Hussein’s execution was removed from a recreation area at the Guantanamo Bay detention center after a detainee’s lawyer accused officials of using it to frighten prisoners, a U.S. military spokesman said Thursday.

Authorities also removed an Arabic-language poster that depicted Saddam’s capture, court appearances and death sentence, said Navy Cmdr. Robert Durand, a Guantanamo Bay spokesman.

The military decided the poster “appeared insensitive” and did not belong in the recreation area, where authorities post information about current events for detainees.

Gah.
