Eye on Guantanamo

It's been more than 18 months since the U.S. started locking up those so-called enemy combatants at Guantanamo Bay -- most of them have not been charged. They live in orange jumpsuits, in wire cages and in a relentless state of legal limbo. They have not been told if they will be charged, how they will be tried, or if they'll be going home. Civil libertarians have balked since the beginning, saying international law must be respected. Now, former POWs, military brass, and even the International Committee of the Red Cross, are issuing warnings. They say Camp X-Ray sets a frightening precedent for U.S. soldiers who might be captured in the future.
