The U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay is a glaring symbol of the Bush administration's human rights abuses in the name of the "war on terror".For more than five years, hundreds of prisoners have been held in harsh conditions there with no legal recourse. While some have been found innocent and been released, how many other innocent men and boys are still languishing hopelessly in that place? We may not know for a very long time, because the Bush administration refuses to charge them with a crime and give them a fair trial.
Yesterday, Senator Tom Harkin (D-IA) introduced a bill to close the Guantanamo Bay prison 120 days after passage and to end the practice of indefinite detention without charges.
