Close Guantanamo Bay now! - UN
IF THIS COUNTRY'S necessary war on terrorism is to succeed, its outlaw jail in Guantanamo Bay must close. The time is long past when the rough treatment and denied rights for prisoners can be justified.
The U.S. Supreme Court, Congress, key U.S. allies and now a United Nations team have all scalded the Pentagon's treatment of some 750 detainees ferried through the military base since 2002. The brig has become a synonym for jail-cell mistreatment and the denial of human rights.
Because the base is in Cuba and off American soil, legal protections in the U.S. Constitution don't apply. The Pentagon says that terrorists aren't part of conventional armies covered by international norms and aren't entitled to the rights given captured enemy combatants.
That sham reasoning shouldn't last another day. Close the base and move the prisoners where public hearings and due process can illuminate their condition and expose their beliefs.
