Apparently, rumours about the conditions at Guantanamo Bay have been exaggerated...

a panel commissioned by Obama concluded in February that the detainees received a "high quality of care" and that Geneva conventions were not being breached.
I guess the conditions there are not all Bush's fault, and Obama isn't bringing "change" to that albatross.

Anyway, they're being force-fed. Why? :think: They want to starve, let 'em starve.

It's still open. Apparently he's talking about giving it a year to close down.
