Guantanamo Bay

2004

• October 25 -- More Hard-Luck Stories from Guantanamo Inmates
Tim Golden has two huge front-page stories on the military and diplomatic struggles over the inmates at Guantanamo Bay: "Many of the detainees sent to Guantánamo turned out to be low-level militants, Taliban fighters and men simply caught in the wrong place at the wrong time." Not until the last four paragraphs does Golden note some released prisoners are now fighting American troops in Iraq.

• August 25 -- Harping on Overseas Unpopularity of Guantanamo
We get the point, Neil.

• March 12 --  Gall Over Youths In Guantanamo
Carlotta Gall talks to three Afghan youths released from Guantanamo Bay, but while even the liberal London Guardian quoted the boys about how much they liked Guantanamo and Americans, Gall ignored those positive views and focused on concerns about their captivity.

• February 6 -- "Conservatives" Against Death Penalty, Patriot Act
Chris Hedges' latest "Public Lives" profile ostensibly deals with a conservative Republican figure--one who is passionately anti-death penalty and calls the Patriot Act "a serious erosion of the rule of law."
