Pentagon report
Pentagon presented a report about Guantánamo today. They believe that the detainee facility do indeed follow the Geneva convention. The report does not speek about if anyone has been subject to torture as according to the amiral that did the presentation this is not relevant since he is not speaking about the past but about the present conditions.
Human rights organizations all over the world has reacted towards this, obviously.
And we all hope that this will open a debate about how telling a report done by the military running the camp can be unbiased. Hopefully an unbiased assesment will be done one day, although I woud'nt put my money on it. It might though be something Obama should think about. How the military works in the state he is running and he might realise that it will be difficult to get them on his side in the closing of Guantánamo. Which we all still hope he will do. And yes, he has said it. But actions speek louder than words.
And therefore I will now stop typing and go and do something active instead. I have a Dublin-trip to pack for!
