[And we're supposed to believe this? Of course they're being tortured.]

No evidence Guantanamo detainees tortured, Ruddock says
Federal Attorney-General Philip Ruddock says he has seen no evidence inmates at the US military prison at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba have been tortured.

An Australian lawyer working for the Camp X-Ray inmates, Richard Bourke, claims prisoners, including two Australians, have been tortured.

US President George W Bush has denied the claim.

Mr Ruddock has told Parliament the Red Cross recently visited Guantanamo Bay, but in a report gave no indication that prisoners had been tortured.

"I've seen also the reports of Australian officials who have on a number of occasions visited Guantanamo Bay and seen both of the detainees and there were no reports to them of any torture so that's the background to the matter," Mr Ruddock said.

"I have seen the reports and I have asked for inquiries to be made as to whether there have been any further developments."
