Amnesty: Gitmo is the new "gulag". White House/McClellan: Ridiculous

LONDON - Amnesty International castigated the U.S. prison camp in Guantanamo Bay as a failure Wednesday, calling it "the gulag of our time" in the human rights group's harshest rebuke yet of American detention policies.

Amnesty urged Washington to shut down the prison at the
U.S. Navy's base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, where some 540 men are held on suspicion of links toAfghanistan's ousted Taliban regime or the al-Qaida terror network. Some have been jailed for more than three years without charge.

White House spokesman Scott McClellan said Amnesty's complaints were "ridiculous and unsupported by the facts." He said allegations of prisoner mistreatment are investigated.

over McClellan for facts.

Three years in prison without charges is a travesty of any kind of justice and were the Bush Junta and this rep. any sort of decent human beings this would not stand. The Bush Regime are War Criminals and should be tried under Intl. Law forthwith.

1. Guantanamo is the new gulag

2. The White House and McClellan are ridiculous.
