Description
On 22 January 2009, President Barrack H. Obama signed Executive Order 13492 which directed the closure of the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base (GITMO) detention facilities within 12 months. President Obama stated that the closure “would further the national security and foreign policy interests of the United States and the interests of justice.” Most detainees interned at GITMO have been there for more than four years without formal charges or judicial proceedings. Historically, the United States (U.S.) government has acknowledged or compensated citizens for policy decisions that are later determined imprudent or injudicious. This usually occurs several decades after the fact. There are recently released federal documents, which confirm “enhanced interrogation techniques” were used in connection with detention operations for the Global War on Terrorism (GWOT). Additionally, there are several dozen detainees not considered a threat but still interned while hundreds of others were released without charges or convictions. In light of these facts, does the U.S. owe Guantanamo Bay detainees anything?
