Paul Farmer

“Since Guantanamo is not technically on U.S. soil, the Bush administration lawyers developed a torturous rationale:
'While conceding that the Haitians are treated differently from other national groups who seek asylum in the U.S., the Government claimed that the U.S. Constitution and other sources of U.S. and international law do not apply to Guantanamo - this despite the fact that the U.S. military base at Guantanamo is under the exclusive jurisdiction and control of the U.S. Government.”
