The record of the last two presidential administrations in dealing with detainees at Guantanamo Bay Naval Base in Cuba (GITMO) and elsewhere is examined and the legal rationale for the tactics used on those in captivity is scrutinized. The study reveals that although certain features of detention policy changed from the George W. Bush administration to the Barack Obama presidency, others remained the same. The benefits of information acquired from detainees is weighed and detention policy itself is evaluated according to fundamental American values.展开更多
