Guantanamo Bay Prison

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20090223/us_nm/us_guantanamo_review

This article was interesting to read. Mainly because Hollywood has turned prisons with big names (like Guantanamo Bay) into a sort of hell hole. President OBama order a 13 day inspection on the prison and it met the Geneva Conventions standards. The prison has had report in the past (during its 70 years of operation) of inhumane treatment. The team of inspectors however were not there to grade them on the past but of the present.

This article makes you wonder if they were tipped off of the inspection and cleaned up their act for 13 days. I mean its a prison and im sure gaurds have some sort of grudge and there is a certain amount of force that has to be kept to keep things in line. Guantanamo Bay is a prison mainly for foreign threats or as we say terrorist. There are prisoners in prison with ties to the taliban or al queda so it makes you wonder if after september 11th if gaurds are taken out anger on the prisoners. As a man i can admit it would be hard for me not to "punish" these prisoners even if they didnt do anything wrong while in this prison. But as a human being i think my raising and teachings would keep me from doing this but how many of these gaurds think like this and how many have that "macho man" attitude. I mean come on we have all seen Harold and Kumar go to Guantanamo Bay. This just makes you think whats really going on and its pretty much an unanswerable question until youve been there in prison. Kind of like Area 51 haha is it real or a myth and if it is real whats there. God I WANT TO KNOW.
