Tipton three complain of beatings

Three Britons released from Guantanamo Bay after two years of imprisonment have told of the conditions they endured as terror suspects.
The three - Ruhal Ahmed, 22, Asif Iqbal, 22, and Shafiq Rasul, 26, all from Tipton in the West Midlands.

They had been captured in Afghanistan, suspected of links to the Taleban, and were taken to the US camp in Cuba.

The three told UK newspapers they were often beaten by US troops.

Their claims of abuse come after similar descriptions by two other released Britons.

But US Secretary of State Colin Powell has dismissed claims of mistreatment. Mr Powell, told ITV's Tonight: "We have watched Guantanamo Bay very carefully, knowing of the interest of a number of nations, including the United Kingdom, and knowing that we have responsibilities under the Geneva Convention, and because we are Americans, we don't abuse people who are in our care."

Mr Powell said it was "not in the American tradition to treat people in that manner"

Yet Americans are known to be assertive and not tolerate what they belivev to be terrorism. They belive that Guantanamo Bay is a humane place, quite the poosite in the film.

So who do we believe ????
