Torture

As newer documents than the ones that have been referenced here are available suggest that waterboarding, not considered torture by US Military, is indeed a form of torture, and thus most inmates at Guantanamo were indeed subjected to torture as defined by the Geneva Conventions of 1949. This article references Khadr's torture as being unsubstantiated, but with these documents, the sources who testified that he was tortured are vindicated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.228.254.236 (talk) 14:22, 13 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

NPOV

A lot of people feel bad for Khadr and I can't blame them. BUT this can't be a pro-Khadr essay, it has to present the facts in an unbiased way. This was written by someone very sympathetic and/or connected to Khadr. The language should be changed to be as neutral as possible WHILE STILL presenting all the FACTS that we have. ‡ Єl Cid, Єl Caɱ̩peador ^ᐁT₳LKᐃ 15:00, 7 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

What is it that sounds non-neutral or POV? I don't see any obvious bias in the way the article is written. 107.190.62.51 (talk) 18:53, 7 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
