Southern Command General Francis Donovan recently met with Cuban military officials at the US Naval Station in Guantánamo Bay (which continues to hold 15 prisoners), apparently avoiding discussion of the adjacent internment camp:
"You forgot to mention that Guantanamo Bay, Cuba is a crime scene. The crimes include torture, criminal neglect of prisoners, and alleged murder of prisoners. It is the site for indefinite detention of Abu Zubaydah, who was CIA's torture guinea pig, but never charged w/ any crime!" -- Jeffrey Kaye
As Deputy Assistant Attorney General in the Office of Legal Counsel from 2001 to 2003, 'Torture Professor' John Yoo penned a series of legal memos for "enhanced interrogation techniques" to strip away protections of the Geneva Conventions, and "essentially grant a blank check for government brutality" by countries that torture. Guantánamo represents the last bastion of the "war on terror" opines Andy Worthington-- "a bleak beacon of profound injustice and lawlessness that has been contaminating the whole of the world ever since."
