Sensitive Guantanamo Bay Manual Published Through WikiLeak

A 238-page instruction manual for the Guantanamo Bay military prison has been leaked through Wikileaks, a site dedicated to such disclosures. The document raises questions about hidden prisoners and the use of military dogs to intimidate inmates. - Wired

Guantanamo Bay, a 45-square-mile American naval base located at the southeastern tip of the island, is leased from Cuba and is nominally subject to Cuban sovereignty. This indefinite imprisonment at this location is unlawful. Some would say Guantanamo Bay Is Actually A "Death Camp". What is happening at Guantanamo Bay is we're trying to treat people humanely, recognizing that these are terrorists," said the Senator. I do tend to agree with Beckett's remarks that Guantanamo Bay is unacceptable, ineffective and damaging. The existence of Gitmo is at best rank laziness on the part of the administration who don't want to deal with the machinery of justice.

Al Qaeda Manual Drives Detainee Behavior at Guantanamo Bay, say the Republicans after they found is a training manual for Al Quaeda. If mandating that the Army Field Manual be followed at all times wasn't necessary than we'd have no Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo Bay torture incidents. Furthermore, sleep deprivation, as endorsed by the KUBARK Manual is literally endorsed in word.

THE chief war crimes prosecutor for the occasional military commissions at guantanamo bay has resigned abruptly in a dispute over his independence as the Democrats' anti-military PR offensive is petering out. The US military is clearing the way for executions of condemned terror suspects to take place at the Guantanamo Bay detention facility while a US military judge has thrown out charges against two Guantanamo Bay detainees, casting fresh doubt on efforts to try foreign terror suspects. The US military has admitted that children aged 16 years and younger are among the detainees being interrogated at its prison camp in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Mixed messages abound.

Guantanamo Bay is not a vacuum, and whatever interrogation techniques are used there will eventually become public knowledge. The Bush Administration had taken the position that Guantanamo Bay is not US territory. Guantanamo Bay is a PRISON, not a health spa or holding tank. Just to set the record straight Guantanamo Bay is nothing like the types of places that terrorists take their innocent civilian prisoners.
