"Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted"
Gitmo is a poor excuse for the application of the 8th amendment, as the prisioners there are foregn terrorist and are not subject to or do they have the right to the protections of our Constitution.
There is also a question as to if there was torture or how much torture was used and some of the loudest complainers have been found to be lying about their envolvement.
