Talk:Guantanamo Bay

No discussion so far about the Neutrality tag, I will remove it in 7 days if no discussion --Chosongul 19:43, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Removing the tags won't make it neutral. We need to think about what writing in "neutral" (NPOV) language is, which article this surely isn't. Blockinblox 20:00, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

How about, Guantanamo bay is an American navy base, which is used as a prison camp for rebel fighters? --Chosongul 16:25, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

When writing about it, we need to consider two aspects:

  1. The geographical one (Bay in the south of Cuba, currently about half of it controlled by the US)
  2. Military installation on that territory, claimed by the US. Possibly mention that there is a legal dispute if the claim was legal or not. Also possibly mention that the military installation is used for questioning people held by the us. These people are not treated as POWs, but illegal combattants; which is a possible violation of the Geneva conventions. Also, US legislation only partly applies to these people held.

In the English wikipedia, those are two separate articles -- Eptalon 16:37, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

I replaced what was originally there by a possible stub -- Eptalon 16:58, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
