What possible rationale
do they have for keeping him in the cell with the lights on, etc., after it has become clear he is innocent? Is there some evidence that puts his innocence in doubt so that there are hoping for some last minute confession to justify their torture of him? Are they simply insane? I cannot comprehend this situation at all. One tries not to demonize one's opponents, but in this case it is hard not to simply say the Bush administration is simply evil. How would they defend this? Why on earth do they continue to torture him?
That's a question that we'll probably never have answered definitely. My bet would be, "because they can".
