Some questions about that:
Did/do they stop trying to recruit people after they get them to Guantanamo? Mubanga's story is resistance all the way, surely out of the thousands of processees there are those who buckle, who take the main chance for what it's worth. And what are they like now? What are the aspects of their utility? Where would they be sent to practice their new-found skills? Is it too fantastic to speculate that the same bizarre techniques and technologies that are being used to break prisoners don't have their analogs in the rebuilding of personality? In the redesigning of human beings that were already deemed expendable. And that even more appalling things than the sadistic tormenting of helpless men are the result.
Once morality's dispensed with we're looking at biology, and - as I've been saying for a while now - something that amounts to a species split, a branching away from what seemed to be the immutable human template. Cain and Able struggling toward all or nothing. Or - syphilis flashing back its mutating colors at the immune systems of its hosts.

Also what does Guantanamo - and its franchises and subsidiaries, and its parent organization, tell us, or hint to us or speak directly to us in dumb-show symbolism - about the American prison system? Is it really possible to think of this anti-human behavior as unique to the military? Why? It isn't a military phenomenon, any more than the arresting of homosexuals was once a police phenomenon. These agencies are the enforcers of a larger moral context, and that moral context is itself the shield and flag of a biological nucleus; a human thing different from the human things it's trying to metabolize, for whom the dross and waste of the lives of those it views as imperfect are meaningless, weightless, except as something that needs to be trimmed away. We can see how the pattern of the Holocaust is playing out inside the mirror, with the creatures that were formed in that crucible now operating the levers and gears.
Out of the chaos and horror, as it subsides, emerge the creatures that will now owe their lives and their form to that horror. The strengthened immune systems that are left after the plague subsides, the quickness and agility of the ones who don't get eaten - this is what's happening, or about to, and knowing that will strengthen the ones who are now prey. That explains why there's so much energy devoted to making sure the prey doesn't begin to understand where it is, and what's happening to it.
Evolution? Nonsense! Back in line, all of you!

It is a moral contest. But the letter of the law is not what the contest's about. Morality is there to strengthen biology, not refute it.

The other thing I've been meditating on is the 360 degree circle versus the 365 day year. Imagining an earth in a perfected orbit. Wondering if, as with the language, there aren't clues built-in to the symbols; and, as with the language, wondering how many of those clues and symbols have been corrupted and bent to the service of the thing that now controls most of the human world's energy.
Moving Venus out to near-earth orbit, only at 360 on the dot. What does that give us? It shines, to me, it has a glow. I don't mean doing that, that seems hubristic past redemption, but the idea of a world in that orbit, as a result of the "natural" processes of the solar system.
Wondering if Velikovsky's "Worlds in Collision" explains the bloom of gigantic creatures, the planet smacked by "asteroids", shoved around, the broken crust and the mass extinctions, sudden climate shift, with the earth after one of these altercations a little farther from the sun, enough that the gravity field is that much weaker.
