And illegal under any convention or laws in any democracy. If it were any other country can you imagine the reaction? But sadly for the world as a whole this current US administration is the classic playground bully who is twice the size of the other boys and girls.
 
The British Government had a similar policy in Northern Ireland for years, so it's no surprise.

While I'm no supporter of imprisonment without trial, comparison between Long Kesh and Guantanamo Bay best befits one of our comedy posts
 
Why, Brian? The European Court of Human Rights considered what went on as torture, only for the language of their ruling to be modified on appeal.

The constant failure of governments to learn anything from the past is just bewildering.
 
Apologies, Colin. If a mod wants to remove my posts to keep the discussion on the topic of Guantanamo, feel free.
