UPDATE ~ US House members report improved conditions at Gitmo Alexandria Samuel at 10:35 AM ET [JURIST] After visiting the Guantanamo Bay detention center Saturday [JURIST report], House Republicans and Democrats reported that conditions at the facility are improving. The lawmakers traveled to the detention facility to witness interrogations and observe living conditions of the suspected terrorists. Representative Ellen Tauscher (D-CA) [official website] said that "[t]he Guantanamo we saw today is not the Guantanamo we heard about a few years ago". The visits come amid mounting pressure from human rights groups and some lawmakers to pierce the veil of secrecy surrounding conditions at the camp [JURIST news archive], and end the use of torture techniques. A Senate visit is scheduled for Sunday. AP has more. Link |
