GUANTANAMO BAY

Moscow Times:
"Military authorities at the U.S. Naval Base on Guantanamo Bay, Cuba,
have discovered that 'fewer than a half dozen' detainees are juveniles. ...
The juveniles, described as between the ages of 13 and 15, were declared
'enemy combatants' when they were arrested fighting against U.S. troops in
Central Asia. ... After a detailed medical examination, they were determined to
be youngsters." -- Los Angeles Times, April 23

"Teenagers younger than 16 being held at Guantanamo Bay are 'not
children' and pose a lethal danger that justifies detention, U.S. military chiefs
insisted yesterday." -- The Guardian, April 26

WASHINGTON -- The most startling thing about the U.S. government's
admission it is holding children among the "enemy combatants" at its
prison camp in Cuba is what a non-story it is here.

"Die USA foltert Kinder in Guantanamo. Aber laut USA sind das gar keine Kinder sondern stellen eine tödliche Gefahr??? dar. Ist man kein Kind mehr wenn man Gefährlich ist? Was ist die amerikanische Definition von Kind? Wie weit kann man die Heuchelei eigentlich noch treiben?"
