U.N.: U.S. should close Guantanamo prison

By immigrationprof

The United States should close its prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and avoid using secret detention facilities in its war on terror, a U.N. panel report released Friday said.  Click here for the story and here for the report.

Haitians, Cubans, and now Muslims are being detained in Gitmo.  Who is next?  By the way, I found Brant Goldtein’s book Storming the Court (despite its Yale rah-rah drumbeat in the background 🙂 ) and its discussion of the Haitian litigation headed by Michael Ratner and Harold Koh quite interesting in the lucid discussion of conditions there.  And revealing that there is a McDonald’s for the military personnel!  It made be wonder whether there might be a taqueria there.
