It is seen by the Bush administration as a vital tool in the "war on terror". It is one that enables suspects who are not US citizens to be interrogated and held, indefinitely if necessary, in a US-controlled territory but not subject to normal US court rules.In the news today a story from Guantanamo, a reminder that for about 400 people life in the prison camp goes on, without an hope of a fair trail or release.
Maybe its time that in a world of international police someone starts knocking on America's door. How is that America is allowed, even encouraged to kick the butt of terrorist nations, but no-one cares about the means, peoples fundamental human rights are being taken away in the name of The War on Terror.
