I guess this Guantanamo-type heavy-duty imprisonment (for the rest of his days?) must have been released in a Wikileak. ;-)

Crowley is got rid of for saying that the punishment strategy prior to trial is 'stupid' . . . . . nothing is more true than Crowley's assertion.

Even in the USA Bradley is innocent until **Proved** guilty.

Waking the soldier up during the night, is a way to sleep deprive him. I know, they did it to me in the military, when I did an illegal thing that the military didn't want, and I was withholding information from them. They used “suicide watch” as an excuse/conduit through which to sleep deprive me.
I don't know if any of you have ever experienced sleep deprivation imposed on you by a governmental body, but they're very effective with it, and you very soon start to lose your mind completely, along with extreme discomfort in your mind and body. They're goal, is obviously to make you crack, and tell what you know.
