Yes, Guantanamo is now taking on new prisoners- people that are being rounded up in my country and thought to be undocumented. Of course, there are many problems with this process- not only is my country clueless as to who is undocumented (they have rounded up several US citizens and people legally in this country in the mix) but also Guantanamo is not physically prepared for this influx of people.
Right now we do not know if the people being sent are going to be placed in the prison? or maybe outdoor cages like the first men sent to Guantanamo. A time like this time when the prison also was not prepared for the influx of people. Or maybe as some are reporting that will be placed in tent camps. (sigh- what could go wrong with that!)
we are watching. we will take action.
Meanwhile Ben Fox- who long reported on Guantanamo after our second worst president started sending Muslim men to the base- writes this for politico;
And Mansoor Adayfi, a former prisoner at the base, shares his concerns here.
(h/o to Walt for sharing the Adayfi op-ed)
