Anniversary of shame

"The United States's infamous detention centre at Guantánamo Bay on the island of Cuba recently marked the 10 anniversary of its founding. In all, 779 people have been held, at one time or another, in the enclave and have been treated in ways no civilised society should tolerate."

According to U.S. official data, 92 per cent of the 779 had nothing to do with al-Qaida, and the majority have been released without charge or trial. But all have been tortured.

Guantánamo's 10 year is an anniversary of shame; moreover, even U.S. officials admit that the camp's very existence helps terrorist groups get new recruits.
