Meanwhile, a recently freed prisoner from Guantanamo Bay has come forward with allegations of torture at the hands of the U.S. military. In an interview from his home in Turkey, the former prisoner, Murat Kurnaz, said he was beaten, given electric shocks, submerged in water, starved and chained to a ceiling for days. He said he saw several people die and often thought he would die himself. Kurnaz was held for four years before his release in August because of a lack of evidence against him.
