More Than 60 Children Have Been Held At Guantanamo Bay: Report
Sunday, May 28th, 2006 by RLRFrom The Khaleej Times
More than 60 minors, some as young as 14, have been held as prisoners at the US detention facility for suspected terrorists at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, a London-based human rights group claimed in a report published on Sunday.
Those detainees were under 18 when they were captured by US forces, and at least 10 of them still being held at Guantanamo were 14 or 15 when they were seized, held in solitary confinement, subject to repeated interrogation and allegedly tortured, the charity Reprieve was reported as saying.
Britain’s Independent on Sunday (IoS), which carried the allegations, suggested the charges could threaten the United States’ relationship with its closest ally in the war on terror, Britain.
We would take a very, very dim view if it transpires that there were actually minors there, it quoted a British government official as saying.
Unnamed government sources said the allegations directly contradicted Washington’s assurances to London that no minors were held at Guantanamo.

??? As I read the Web more and more juveniles are being reported to be held or have been held in Camp Delta Guantanamo Bay. Can you people get your facts straight?? The US has admitted to having had 3 juveniles, who have since been released and yet you bleeding heart liberals need to sensationalize everything for your own greed. Tell me this. Have you personally been to Camp Delta and personally done a headcount of exactly how many juveniles are there ??? Probably not. But you have unnamed sources right ??? Of Course you do. And the cow actually did jump over the moon. You are Pathetic !!!
Yes and this Administration has been so truthful to the American public and the world. They say plenty of things that aren’t true or are conveniently leaked for their own gain. We prefer to put the news out their and let the people decide what they want to believe. Guessing you haven’t been to the camp either but you seem willing to express your opinion as if it’s fact.
