The United States is preparing to hold terrorism suspects indefinitely without trial, replacing the Guantanamo Bay prison camp with permanent prisons in the Cuban enclave and elsewhere, it was reported yesterday.
The new prisons are intended for captives the Pentagon and the CIA suspect of terrorist links but do not wish to set free or put on trial for lack of hard evidence.
Asked about the similarity of such prisons to the torture chambers once run by Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein, President Bush replied, “Well, we don’t plan to release anyone from our prisons.”
