Or being illegally detained, without legal representation, without being charged, for an indefinite amount of time. Being deprived access to your family. These are not terrible conditions? They are in the sun, yes, but being kept in the beating sun constantly without any proper protection isn`t exactly a walk in the park you know.

Cambodia didn`t fare too well either.

or perhaps you'd like to try this later incident.

If you are going to contribute to this thread you may wish to keep up with current affairs, and not rely on the stream of propaganda that the Whitehouse keeps pushing down your throat. Or is it simply more convenient for you to forget about the atrocities of the USA?

I seem to recall in an earlier post someone mentioning that you speak Afrikaans and that you spent some period of time in South Africa. Given that you were raised in a country where racism was the national pastime I`m really not surpised by this attitude.
