Traveling exhibit offers glimpse of Guantanamo prison camp

To kick off their cross-country adventure, Rob Spearin and his pal Mike Demontigny arrived here from New England after 36 hours on a crowded train, an experience both found confining and uncomfortable.

Why do we even know about these prisoners? So much for goverment secrets. This never would have happened under Roosevelt

"It is unbelievable that someone could spend years of their lives in here," Spearin said. "It's smaller than my bathroom at home."

And now the other side of the story:
The people held at Guantanamo are terrorists and wish westerners death becase you are not Muslim.

A Kuwaiti freed from Guantanamo Bay carried out a suicide car bombing in Iraq last month, the US military said, confirming what is believed to be the first such attack by a former detainee at the US detention center in Cuba.

Mary,

Why did you choose not to include the very recent information about a detainee that was released and killed again? Seems like a one sided story wouldn't you agree? Journalism is about presenting all angles, facts, related information, and you really missed the mark. Most people would read this article and only have half a story, there is no mention of detainees being terrorists and killing innocent people with suicide bombes.

The fact this prisoners wete actually captured and not killed speaks volumes of our Government. Do you think the terrorist would even allow an American Etc. the oppurtunity of life? I think not.
What alot of people do not understand is that this people are killers and would kill you and your family without a second thought. Why are there so many Americans that hate there own country? Where are we headed as a nation?

We could always push 'em out the gate and let them rot in those really nice Cuban jails.

BTW. Is this cell authentic? I mean is it capable of flushing the Koran?
