Guantanamo - Easier to open than to close

The “legal black hole” defies attacks
OR more than a year, George Bush has been saying that he would like to close America’s notorious prison camp for suspected terrorists at Guantánamo Bay, in Cuba. Reports of detainee abuse had damaged America’s image abroad, he admitted: “It kind of eased us off the moral high ground.” But [...]

Jersualem - A capital question

More Palestinians are losing their right to live in Jerusalem than ever before
