MANAMA (Reuters)

A Bahraini rights group said on Saturday it had received reports a member of the country's royal family had been tortured at Guantanamo Bay.

It is the second report of abuse of a Bahraini national at the U.S. naval base in Cuba where hundreds of people seized during the 2002 U.S.-led war in Afghanistan are held.

The Bahrain Center for Human Rights (BCHR) said an Arab recently freed from the base had said Sheikh Salman bin Ebrahim al-Khalifa, a distant relative of Bahrain's King Hamad bin Isa al-Khalifa, had been tortured but did not elaborate. ..

.. A group of international lawyers visited Bahrain, the headquarters for the U.S. Navy's Fifth Fleet, last month during a trip to other Arab countries to prepare a lawsuit on behalf of the Guantanamo prisoners.

1. Preparing a lawsuit. Well, good luck

to them. This administration has such a stranglehold on everything I don't expect much to come of this. And they are the real enemy.

2. If they really profess to be

democratic... then how come nothing is outside the realm of "ok" that they do... have done... will do? Seems more like another form of government that we have helped kill millions in order to get rid of it.... eh?
