Guantanamo

i know we've all been hearing about the torturing in cuba at the u.s military base, and its obvious violations of human rights. but now there's another twist to the story... on thursday a federal judge ordered the pentagon to release the names of ALL the prisons being held, some of which have been there for 4 years. the majority of the names have previously blacked because of, get this, "fear of violating their rights." i didn't know a whole lot about the details of the story, and if anyone's interested here's a link that has it stated pretty simply (and yes its from a main stream news source and probably has some sort of bias because as we've all learned, there's almost alway bias- BUT- it's easy to understand and get a general idea of what's going on with the case, found it pretty helpful).
