...most famous kid at the U.S. detention facility at Guant??namo Bay, Cuba, is Omar Khadr. A Canadian citizen, he was captured in Afghanistan in 2002 when he was only 15. The U.S. charges that he threw a grenade that killed a U.S. soldier. He faces a murder trial, which his lawyers are resisting, noting that he was a child at the time of the alleged crime. The U.S. has said Khadr was among the few juveniles being held at Guant??namo Bay. But a TIME analysis of data released earlier this month by the Pentagon indicates that Gitmo might...
...first sign of trouble last week at the U.S. Navy's detention camp at Guant??namo Bay, Cuba, came when guards found a prisoner unconscious in his cell.

Al-Qaida, North Korea, Iran, and Sudan are beneficiaries of America’s impasses. To those radicals’ dismay, our ideals of human rights, freedom, and democracy do lead...
TIME is overly concerned about issues like the interrogation methods employed in the prison at Guant??namo and warrantless eavesdropping on phone calls. It is a typical liberal attitude to criticize and second-guess the government's tactics in the war against terrorism. Thank God, the media do not dictate U.S. policy and the general public is more sensible than...
