☆  The Guantánamo “Suicides”: A Camp Delta sergeant blows the whistle | Scott Horton (Harper's Magazine)

This sentence has a peculiar horror: “Hickman was instructed to make no record whatsoever of the movements of one vehicle in particular—a white van, dubbed the “paddy wagon,” that Navy guards used to transport heavily manacled prisoners, one at a time, into and out of Camp Delta. The van had no rear windows and contained a dog cage large enough to hold a single prisoner. Navy drivers, Hickman came to understand, would let the guards know they had a prisoner in the van by saying they were “delivering a pizza.””
