Torture
Among bloggers, UM's Michael Froomkin is keeping up the interest in what's going on at our facility in Guantanamo. In his latest post on the topic, he's reacting to Carol Rosenberg's story predicting a permanent facility there.
Froomkin, among others, is calling what's going on there torture. In a new site, Torture American Style, Historians Against the War posts several documents outlining what's going on in Guantanamo along with stories of other instances of torture in American history.
And, Amnesty International's information on Guantanamo is headlined 'A Human Rights Scandal'.
Guantanamo.com (part of the World News Network) is an entire site devoted to concerns about the Guantanamo camps.
