Amnesty International said the plan to house detainees in "cages" would "fall below minimum standards for humane treatment."

The size of the temporary cells -- 6 feet by 8 feet -- also is smaller than "that considered acceptable under U.S. standards for ordinary prisoners," the London-based group said.

LOL...right on! I watched the live briefing from Camp X-Ray this morning on Fox. The commander of the detention center gave a press conference. It seemed like all of the reporters questions centered around how the detainees were being treated. I think they were fishing for any hint of "cruel and unusal" punishment so they could write about our "evil" treatment of prisoners. Kinda made me sick...
Like you said, these guys have it better off then they ever have - they're getting three squares a day and even a recreation period!
