Red Cross is upset over Gitmo - thank goodness

International Committee of the Red Cross says US has not addressed Guantanamo concerns

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=1520&ncid=1520&e=9&u=/afp/20040117/pl_afp/us_attacks_guantanamo_040117015756

The Geneva-based International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) said after meeting top US officials that conditions for detainees at Guantanamo, Cuba, were inadequate.

-snip-

The meetings came just days after some detainees' second anniversary of detention without access to lawyers. In May, 2003, the ICRC asked the US government to allow the approximately 660 detainees at Guantanamo access to legal council.

-snip-

The ICRC has criticized US authorities for attempting to hold the detainees "beyond the law."

-snip-

"Beyond Guantanamo, the ICRC is increasingly concerned about the fate of an unknown number of people captured as part of the so-called global war on terror and held in undisclosed locations."

guess the bushgang's answer to the Red Cross is "So What"

1. Military families are the ones who should be most upset over it

The US treats those it seizes the same way it wishes US personnel who are captured by foreign nationals to be treated.
