Guantanamo Bay U.S. Naval Station, Cuba — From Thursday’s Globe and Mail Published on Wednesday, May. 05, 2010 12:11PM EDT Last updated on Thursday, May. 06, 2010 3:31AM EDT
Omar Khadr, then a gravely wounded 15-year-old, was routinely trussed up in a cage “in one of the worst places on Earth,” according to a hulking former military interrogator nicknamed Monster who says he felt sorry for the Canadian and brought him books and treats.
Former specialist Damien Corsetti was testifying via video link to a pretrial hearing in the war-crimes trial of Mr. Khadr, now 23, on charges of terrorism and murder in the killing of a U.S. Special Forces soldier during a firefight in eastern Afghanistan in July of 2002.
