GITMO, with a budget of $139 million last year to house just 171 detainees, cost more than $800,000 to keep each prisoner for a year — more than 30 times the average cost of a traditional prison.

The report is based on a “secret study” conducted by the camp’s former deputy commander, a money manager by training, who calls the facility “expensive” and “inefficient”.

White House Pissed With Corporate Media For Printing Real News About Innocent Guantanamo Bay Detainees (VIDEO)

~

The US government said it was 'unfortunate' that news organisations had decided to publish classified information on detainees.

The secret reports showed how MANY innocent people had been detained and TORTURED for years at Guantanamo due to mistaken identities and failures in military intelligence.

The Cuban base is an embarrassment to Barack Obama who had pledged to close it two years ago when he was elected.

SHOCKING GUANTANAMO BAY REVELATIONS THANKS TO WIKILEAKS

~

A massive leak of more than 700 military documents, attributed to infamous transparency group WikiLeaks, was released Sunday night. Much of the new information deals with detainees held in Guantanamo Bay.

Here are some shocking revelations about Guantanamo Bay and the practices there.

Officials aren't sure what they're doing. In 704 leaked documents assessing detainees, the word "possibly" appears 387 times, “unknown” 188 times and “deceptive” 85 times.

A former Gitmo detainee whose files identify him as "a probable member of al-Qaeda," is now a key leader on the rebel side of the Libyan revolution.

Some have nothing to do wth Al-Qaeda but are tortured for information about other foreign operations like the Bahraini court and the Uzbekistan secret service.

Suspects were nabbed and shipped to Gitmo because they wore cheap watches. A specific model of watch — a Casio style released in the 1980s — was suspected to be used as a timer by al-Qaeda operatives. People in Afghanistan were seized and sent to the detention facility because they were wearing the watches, but most have been quietly released because of a lack of evidence.

President Obama Backtracks on Vow to Shut Guantanamo Prison

~

There are still 170 detainees left in this offshore prison. The American public seems unwilling to allow a fair trial for any of them, instead exposing them to military tribunals.

The American public doesn't seem willing to place any of them found guilty in prisons where they would have the same rights as serial killers. To me it looks as if the terrorists have succeeded in showing how military might trumps justice.
