    No worse than Gitmo treatment

    Go read "Five years of my life" by Murat Kurnaz

    http://www.amazon.com/Five-Years-My-Life-Guantanamo/dp/0230603742

    Graner is getting the light version of the Gitmo treatment.

    After all, he's getting to see his family - he can talk to them. He's not being held incommunicado in Cuba.
