Canadian TV alert: Inside Gitmo
http://www.cbc.ca/sunday/

CBC News: Sunday

On Sunday, August 24

CAMP DELTA: The U.S. Naval Base at Guantanamo Bay is located on the southern end of Cuba and is home to some 3000 U.S. military personnel and their families. They call the base GTMO (or gitmo) and although its inhabitants are cut off from both Cuba and America, the base contains most of the amenities of home, including U.S.-style housing complexes, a public school, restaurants, private beaches, cable TV and stunning natural scuba areas.

... In fact, Camp Delta (which replaced the original Camp X-ray) holds over 600 prisoners, all accused of having links to Al-Qaida or the former Taliban regime in Afghanistan. Accused but not charged. In fact, these prisoners are being held contrary to virtually every human rights decree known to man.

CBC News: Sunday recently visited the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base and our VJ has returned with exclusive footage from the Camp.
