Have a lot more in common than I like to think about.
Not everything, obviously. But enough to make me cringe.
Just saying.
Sigh.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guantanamo_Bay_detention_camp
An estimated 17 to 22 minors under the age of 18 were detained at Guantánamo Bay, in apparent contravention of international law.[30]
One of the justifications offered for the continued detention of Mesut Sen, during his Administrative Review Board hearing, was:[58]
"Emerging as a leader, the detainee has been leading the detainees around him in prayer. The detainees listen to him speak and follow his actions during prayer."
Red Cross inspectors and released detainees have alleged acts of torture,[59][60] including sleep deprivation, beatings and locking in confined and cold cells. Human rights groups argue that indefinite detention constitutes torture.
