#1 This is only disgusting if (a) you believe the US are monsters abusing these fellows at every chance possible (b) you are unaware that most military stations have some kind of trinkets (c) you don't care and just want to manipulate public opinion. Or all of the above.

#4 Early practises at the Gitmo detention center were documented in a UK film that recreated conditions, according to 3 UK captives who were caught as they fled with Taliban/al-Qaeda. The cages were used for interrogation prep and did not work at all. Prisoners are kept in tidy barracks, and enjoy greater priviliges than most US cons. Captives were alien combatants captured in a failed state; the Geneva Convention did not apply. In fact, it is legal to execute combatants who operate either out of uniform or in the uniform of the other side. US field troops conducted summary executions of several German bundists who were caught in US uniform, at the Battle of the Bulge. They had a right to take a bullet in the chest. See this film:
