GUARDIAN -- In At Dawn We Slept, I'm reading about treatment that Japanese-Americans received when rounded up and sent to internment camps in 1942. In the Guardian, I'm reading about treatment British citizens received when rounded up and sent to the Guantánamo Bay internment camp. There are too many unsettling parallels.
"The British army follows the rules laid out in the Geneva convention and soldiers are told to follow that. It is not permissible to point guns at people's heads during interrogation. We would investigate if any allegation of that nature is made."
Can a superpower purporting to the position of world leader let this kind of behaviour occur more than 60 years after it was deemed inappropriate?
