Letter: Prison at Guantanamo, Memorial Day
NPR: Talk of the Nation
May 30, 2006
NEAL CONAN, host:
It's Tuesday, the day we read from your e-mails.
Last week we talked about a United Nations committee called to shut down the U.S. prison at GuantanamoBay, in Cuba. The debate, both for and against the prison, did not sit well with Anna(ph), a listener in Flint, Michigan.
"The prison in GuantanamoBay makes me sick," she wrote. "One of the tenets this country was established on was the rule of law; the due process that anyone accused of a crime was entitled to. The fact that people disappear into this prison with just the government's say-so that this person is a terrorist scares me. The trial of the 20th 9/11 bomber shows that these people can be tried in the U.S. court of law, and these enemy combatants should be brought to trial in U.S. courts with the transparency that these people, and U.S. people, deserve."
