Carter should visit Guantanamo Bay

To the Editor: 

 

Former President Jimmy Carter probably won't find any biological weapons factories during his five-day trip to Cuba, even with Rosalynn helping.  

Maybe he should visit the prison camp at the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base, where some 384 people are being detained. They have not been charged with crimes or scheduled for trial. It looks like they are being jailed for life, without possibility of parole. 

When Hitler did that they were called "Concentration Camps." When Stalin did that they were called the "Gulag." Do we call it "Bringing terrorists to justice."
