[i]Scrupulously, no. Yes, we have left room for criticism, but the detainees are prisoners of war (a war that is still going on) so it is legal to hold them there.

Well, that's the problem. The US specifically does NOT classify them as POW, but rather as "enemy combatants", a phrase no one really understands the difference between, but which the USA uses to excuse the need to adhere to the Geneva Convention.

[i]Most of the criticism has struck me as people needing to find things wrong with it simply because it has an American flag flying over it.[/i]

Fly the flag over something as semi-questionable as Camp Delta (Which replaced Camp X-Ray) and people will find fault.
