So today I start this “new” thread on DeSantis.
Most of the information I post today I had previously already posted in my thread on Donald Trump: https://www.lawfulpath.com/forum/viewto ... 804#p70804
This looks as bad as "bloody" Gina Haspel, who was CIA director from 2018 to 2021: https://www.lawfulpath.com/forum/viewto ... 4911#p4911
Ron DeSantis was US military legal officer at Guantanamo, circa 2006, where his job was to ensure that the prisoners were treated "humanely", including "compliance with the Geneva convention". Ron DeSantis knew about the torture, but obviously didn't do anything to help the tortured prisoners. Instead he smiled when he witnessed the prisoners being tortured.
It features the tortured prisoner Mansoor Adayfi and his experience with DeSantis.
Then Ron DeSantis was sent to Iraq, likely to cover-up war crimes.

As far as I can tell, no politician or American journalist has confronted Ron DeSantis about his controversial role at the Guantanamo bay torture facility. When he went to Israel on the campaign trail, an Israeli journalist actually asked DeSantis’ role in the torture program at Guantanamo bay.
So DeSantis not directly denied, but denied that the tortured Muslim would remember him:
https://twitter.com/grantstern/status/1 ... 8763230224That's all BS … Do you honestly think that they would have remembered me from Adam? Of course not … They're just trying to get into the news because they know people like you will consume it, because it fits your preordained narrative that you're trying to spin.
But in 2018, DeSantis sort of admitted his role. He didn’t say that he watched (and laughed) when the so-called “terrorists” were force-fed, but that he actually advised the military command on how to do this in a “legal” way, as these “terrorists” were really terrible, fighting Jihad against those poor, poor military torturers, by going on a hunger stike, “using things like detainee abuse offensively against us. It was a tactic, technique and procedure” and that “guards would have feces thrown at them and other stuff” (never mind that most of them were innocent, or they would have been charged).
DeSantis said:
.Hey, you actually can force-feed. Here’s what you can do. Here’s kind of the rules for that.
DeSantis even complained about the costly “humane treatment” these “jihadi terrorists got”:
.They get round-the-clock medical care, they get the Qurans when they want it. So they’re treated far better than they would be treated almost anywhere else. And that’s costly.
After he was elected to Congress in 2012, DeSantis became a leading proponent of keeping Guantánamo open despite the annual cost of $2.7 million per prisoner, and because of (?) the torture of these innocent jihadis that obviously deserved what they got.
In a strange twist, DeSantis’ favourite (?) movie was A Few Good Men (1992), in which the baseball-playing Navy lawyer (played by Tom Cruise) defended Marines accused of murder at Gitmo: https://archive.is/07Ad6
