Conditions of confinement for the "war criminals"

So far we have convicted in our military kangaroo proceedings: a kid, a cook, a man who worked at a "training camp" that closed two years before 9-11, and a man who refused to defend himself.
Carol Rosenberg from the Miami Herald (the only reporter that has consistently followed the Guantanamo beat) reports on life for these unfortunate men after conviction.
Under the Obabush administration it seems there are really only two ways out of Guantanamo: feet first or take a plea for something that you did not do ....the plea, by the way, is under laws that were not even on the books when the men (and child) were arrested....and then hope that my government lives up to the plea bargain.
Sweet land of liberty.
