What do you know about Guantanamo Bay?

Answer 1

Guantanamo Bay is a U.S. Naval Station located on the island Nation of Cuba. It was captured from the Spanish during the war we had with Spain in 1898. Cuba was a colony for a short time and then granted independence. The United states had a 100 year lease on the land of "Gitmo" that has been in question since Castro's Government took over in the late 50's early 60's. It is one of the last fronts of the Cold War. It has always been a place for dangerous prisoners. Think about it, if the prison was in the CONUS, that would be a serious security threat, but where are they going to go if they escape? To a country that hates us? It is a win-win situation for us. They will probably be killed by the Cubans fearing an invasion and we don't have to lift a finger.

Because of this, it seems to be the perfect place to hold prisoners in a war that is not completely understood whose status and applicable rights are in question by international and national law.

Answer 2

Guantánamo Bay (Spanish: Bahía de Guantánamo) is a bay located in Guantánamo Province at the south-eastern end of Cuba (19°54′N 75°9′W). It is the largest harbor on the south side of the island and is surrounded by steep hills creating an enclave cut off from its immediate hinterland.

The United States assumed territorial control over Guantánamo Bay under the 1903 Cuban-American Treaty, which granted the United States a perpetual lease of the area. The current Cuban government rejects the Cuban-American Treaty on the grounds that it violates article 52 of the 1969 Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties, and therefore considers the U.S. presence in Guantánamo to be an illegal occupation of the area. However, this article declares a treaty void only if its conclusion has been procured by the threat or use of force in violation of international law.

The southern portion of the bay is surrounded by the United States Naval Station Guantánamo Bay, a naval base established in 1898. Recently, the base at Guantánamo Bay began hosting a detainment camp for militant combatants collected from both Afghanistan and Iraq.
