It was reported in a few places that the non-US soil/lack of representation was a consideration, as well as the fact that they'd be out of the spotlight of the US media. I can't find a specific reference, most likely because I heard it on the BBC. :/ ..but I did come across it before hearing it from Jeroen > Additionally, a Pentagon > spokeperson stated today that prisoners are being given, each day, 3 > "culturally appropriate meals", health care, exercise, and I've also read > that each prisoner will be given a copy of the Koran and a prayer mat. > While they're certainly not in the lap of luxury, they are also not subject > to what I would describe as human rights violations. I suppose not, but on the other hand, the media and Red Cross/Crecent aren't being allowed to speak with or see the prisoners, it was floated by the US administration that several prisoners were drugged during the flight.. sure, its not getting whipped about the head, but its still not Geneva Convention valid. Speaking of which, I wish they'd make up their minds - we're either at war and they're POWs or we're not and they're not. -j- -- Te audire no possum. Musa sapientum fixa est in aure.
