He writes that Guant?namo Bay?where inmates have been held indefinitely without formal charges?has had a "profound effect" on the liberal ?lites that are America's "best friends abroad."

Anti-American sentiment has been running high in Indonesia, with the recently retracted Newsweek report on abuses of the Koran at the U.S.'s Guant?namo Bay detention camp prompting protests in several cities.
