The War is Over! The USA is bound by the Geneva Conventions. It has no right to hold prisoners of war once there is an end to the battle.
On the same day that President Obama (click here) reiterated his call to close Guantanamo Bay, a detainee has published a first-of-its-kind account of his time in the prison....
Rep. Jackie Walorski can stamp her feet about Gitmo all she wants, but, the end of the war means the USA has to handle the release of POWs within the Geneva Conventions.
You can call them detainees if you want, but, the fact of the matter is the people at Gitmo are POWs. They were taken during war.
So, I suggest Rep. Walorski and Senator Ayotte find a way to carry out their priorities within the Geneva Convention or get of the way. The facts are clear in a recent Senate investigation, there is torture occurring with prisoners. This book is a diary of a detainee and it validates the same facts found in the Senate investigation. This book was written long before the Senate compiled and released it's findings,
The war is over. It is time to end the torture as well.
