When did the US invade "eastern Cuba"? (The US has in the past taken territory obviously, I'm not sure that is a relevant example.)
How much "due process" is due to prisoners of war?
The US took Guantanamo by gun point. The US invaded and just seized the entire port/bay in 1898. The US took it by force and forced Cuba to grant it to them in 1903.
Why does the United States still hold it? Cuba is an independent, sovereign nation. And they do not want us there.Yet we will never leave. They have pleaded with the UN to pass resolutions calling on the US to leave. The US blocks it/shuts it down from getting anywhere.
Ever heard of the freaking Geneva conventions? US's actions at it's Guantanamo Bay torture chamber violates its obligations under the Third Geneva Convention, the International Covenant for Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), the Convention Against Torture (CAT), and international law. No big deal though. Whatever.
Prisoners of war. That's
laughable. Prisoners of
illegal wars of aggression that the US launched based off
lies and in which the US invaded, destroyed, and occupied two countries for no legally justifiable reasons. Huge chunk of the people in Guantanamo were goat herders who had blood feuds with other Afghani or Iraqi goat herding cave dwellers- and the goat herding cave dwellers that sided with us would say- oh that guys a terrorist take him, him, and him. There were a f**kton of innocent people in that torture dungeon.
The entire point is....hard to throw stones when you live in a glass house. US should shut the f**k up and stop breaking international law and get their house in order and morally correct before they come at anyone else. The US gov't and it's military is the largest killing/terror machine in the entire world. It astounds me that Americans do not realize any this, nor can they ever look at the heinous actions of their own government.
