[edit] discussion for concentration camp

[edit] POV

Since there was no discussion when the tag was added, I decided to start one. Any thoughts wether the article is neutral? I'll remove the tag in a week if no-one contributes. thanks Chosongul 18:29, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

I'm not sure about calling Guantanamo Bay a concentration camp. Technically they're prisoners of war aren't they? Archer7 - talk 17:24, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
no, technically not because some are british and french. America just plays this down Chosongul 20:25, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
Guantanamo Bay is NOT a concentration camp. This article should be about internment in general. PullToOpen Talk 20:43, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
A concentration camp is a camp for prisoners who oppose a certain government, a POW camp is a camp for enemy soldiers taken prisoner, this means that Guantanamo is by definition a concentration camp Chosongul 10:11, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
The problem with those held at the Guantanamo bay facilities is that they are not Prisoners of War, as of the Geneva convention, but Illegal Combatants. And yes, a concentration camp has nothing to do with this; as it holds only people opposing a certain government. -- Eptalon 10:24, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Simplification.

The final paragraph starts out the a 72 word run on sentence from hell. POV issues aside, that needs to be cleaned up and simplified badly. Also tagged the other 2 sentences in that paragraph as {fact} for comparison of function of Soviet and US camps and confirmed Suicide attempts. -- Creol 12:16, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
