US Bars Access To Terror Suspects

Posted on Monday, December 12 at 13:25 by jensonj
Mr Bellinger made the admission in Geneva. He stated that the group International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) had access to "absolutely everybody" at the prison camp in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, which holds suspects detained during the US war on terror. When asked by journalists if the organisation had access to everybody held in similar circumstances elsewhere, he said: "No". He declined to explain further.

    Did I read this correctly?

    1. Those suspects who remain at Guantanamo Bay are provided with access to the ICRC.
    2. Those suspects who are removed (by rendition) from Guantanamo Bay (or never even got there) are hidden from the ICRC.

    This is even worse than in WW II.

    How many are in Group 1 and how many are in Group 2?
