WHY MUST THE UR TORTURE THESE POOR VICTIMS?:

Guantánamo suspects want to stay, say officials (Alex Spillius, 01 Nov 2009, Daily Telegraph)

As President Barack Obama's deadline to close Guantánamo looms, some occupants of the notorious detention centre would rather prolong their stay than be sent to maximum security prisons on the US mainland, according to camp officials.

Despite its reputation, the regime at the Pentagon facility on Cuba's southern coast offers privileges that would not be enjoyed at the federal "supermax" prison at Florence, Colorado, the likely alternative for the most dangerous al-Qaeda suspects.

Think there's anyone at a SuperMax who wouldn't welcome a Cuban vacation?
