Guantánamo Meets Geneva Rules, Study Finds
A Pentagon report requested by President Obama on the conditions at the Guantánamo Bay detention center concluded that the prison complies with the humane-treatment requirements of the Geneva Conventions. But it makes recommendations for improvements including increasing human contact for the prisoners, according to two government officials who have read parts of it.
The review, requested by Mr. Obama on his second day in office, is to be delivered to the White House next week.
The president’s request, made as part of a plan to close the prison within a year, was widely seen as an effort to defuse accusations that there were widespread abuses at Guantánamo, and that many detainees were suffering severe psychological effects after years of isolation.
Well, now….if this was on the news anywhere today, I must have missed it.
And to those who hate America so much, they’d rather see the scum in Gitmo freed to murder again, rather than admit they are wrong?
Those terrorist at Gitmo had “psychological problems” long before we got them! And these prisoners have been afforded more “rights” than many of our own citizens–and certainly more than most of them had in their own countries.
Well, you know the mindset of the loony left. “Kill us, and we’ll send you to Disneyland!”
No one wants ‘em. Not even their own countries. Personal opinion….they should have been shot immediately. Save us all time and money.
But hey, I’m just a bog dweller, so what do I know. Heh.
They should be given increased “human contact?” What on earth….
Those fun-loving terrorists spit, and throw feces on each other and the staff; who’s going to be forced to have “contact” with them?
John, the last thing they should have is ‘human’ contact. Ya don’t house pigs with people.
Just goes to show the lack of common sense, doesn’t i.
