Another Grim Anniversary: Guantanamo Bay Prison


The prison at Guantanamo Bay turned 5 today. The plurality of those held in this prison are Pakistanis. As far as we know, the Pakistani government hasn't done much to secure their release or trial. So we can expect these prisoners to be detained indefinitely. And last year, Halliburton was granted a contract to build a much larger prison complex here, to house perhaps triple the number being held today.
