In Guantanamo
I recently came across this video showing the insides of camps 4, 5 and 6 of the detention facility at Guantanmo.
Although the video has been highly censored, I recommend a viewing as it only runs for 22mins and gives an insight to the facilities allegedly
afforded the detainees within Guantanamo, it is also available as a free download at the link provided.
In Guantanamo
Guantanamo naval base, "Gitmo", covers forty five square miles of Cuba inside an area under a controversial 'permanent lease' to the United
States. Since 2002, the base has become synonymous with its detainment facilities for suspected terrorists. Although Barack Obama has given orders for
the detention camp to be closed, the facilities remain open to this day. David Miller's quiet, powerful film is the result of three days the
filmmaker spent touring the camps in May 2008 as part of a small group of media representatives allowed there. Although the event was presented as a
chance to 'see inside' the working of Guantanamo, it was in fact a carefully staged PR exercise designed to yield predictable, stale, controlled
media images.

I really need to start sensationalizing my thread titles.
