Red Cross Says Gitmo Conditions Have Improved

Well, I don’t ever want anyone to complain that I never report good news.  I’m always on the look-out for good news and changes for the better.  I hate to hear about conditions worsening all over and despite many a right-winger’s misguided belief, liberals do not take joy in pain and suffering.

Anyway, here goes…

GENEVA (Reuters) - Detainees are enjoying better treatment at the U.S. prison camp at Guantanamo Bay, and the Red Cross is satisfied with its access to them, the humanitarian agency’s chief said on Tuesday.

Jakob Kellenberger, president of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), said detention conditions at Guantanamo had “improved considerably” over the past four years.

“There have also been improvements in the treatment of prisoners, but that does not mean that there are no longer any problems at all,” he told the daily Tribune de Geneve in an interview. [“Guantanamo Bay conditions have improved: Red Cross” (Reuters.com)]
