The U.S President said he would now close down the Guantanamo prisons… Finally!! Foreign nationals forcibly seized in another country were tagged as “enemy combatants” and detained without charges in Guantanamo, where torture, euphemistically called “enhanced interrogation techniques”, were routinely perpetrated.
