Gitmo and the ACLU

U.S. review finds Guantanamo conditions humane

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A review by a top U.S. Navy officer, ordered by President Barack Obama, has found that the Guantanamo Bay detention center meets the humane standards laid out in the Geneva Conventions, a U.S. official said on Friday.

The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the review by Admiral Patrick Walsh concluded that the prison for terrorism suspects complied with Common Article Three of the conventions that governs the humane treatment of detainees.

The review was quickly criticized by the American Civil Liberties Union, which branded it a "farce."

Recommendations include the need for increased socialization among the detainees, improved access to health care services, and the practice of video archiving of all interrogations.

Detainees in lower security areas like Camp 4, where one third of the detainees are held, have access to recreation 20 hours a day and are often held in communal spaces with a television.

He said 8 percent of the detainees suffer from a mental illness that requires medication, and although that's less than that of the general U.S. population, its still cause for concern.

Big surprise! Maybe the ACLU wants to have them as room-mates.

The ACLU does NOT want them at a regular prison, they may be abused.

Abused by other inmates.

And they don't want them at the Super Max, too isolated.

Did anyone tell the ACLU that the detainees at Gitmo are NOT American citizens.

The ACLU is a joke.

Just more Left wing Liberals.
