I hope the American people are more alarmed about the men in cages today, than they were in January 2002,when my government opened Guantanamo to the men we were randomly picking up in its "war on terror." Those men, who as we later learned were primarily innocent of any crime, were also put in cages- subjected to the elements and with buckets for toilets.
Camp X-Ray was ultimately closed when the men were moved to a "more sheltered" prison setting but if you look at the photos from Wikipedia (at the link) setting up Camp X Ray you will see an eerily similar scene to the Internment Camp being set up in Florida right now.
The Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) was the umbrella organization for the Guantanamo attorneys and at one point CCR moved to preserve Camp X Ray, so that we here in the U.S. do not forget our inhumanity.
It seems the trumpers have not forgotten.
As I have mentioned in earlier posts, they are continuing to follow the Guantanamo rule book. One big difference, is that they are now doing this on U.S. soil.
The only question is, will they get away with this too?
