False! Bush officials called them "unlawful combatants." They're now classified "unprivileged enemy belligerents." 

Language changed but not intent or lawlessness. Francis Boyle told this writer and others earlier. He said Bush spurned Geneva, constitutional and US statute laws. 

He "created an anti-matter of legal nihilism where human beings (including US citizens) can be disappeared, detained incommunicado, denied access to attorneys and regular courts, tried in kangaroo courts, executed, tortured, assassinated and subjected to numerous other manifestations of State Terrorism."

Obama continues the same practices. Lawlessness is official US policy.

Dascal claims "legal authority" permits detaining them. She says Guantanamo today "is a far cry from" 2002. She ignores continued abusive treatment.

She claims most detainees "live in communal facilities where they can eat, pray and exercise together."

On June 24, 2012, Jimmy Carter headlined "A Cruel and Unusual Record."

He condemned America's "widespread abuse of human rights."
