US reviews Cuba prisoners' rights
Reports from Washington say a rift has developed in the US administration over the
status of al-Qaeda and Taleban suspects held at the American military base in Cuba.

No POW rights for Cuba prisoners
Cuba captives held 'below US standards'
Based on press reports from Guantanamo Bay, Mr Wright said that prisoners held at
Camp X-Ray in Cuba are not being held in accordance with minimal standards of care
and custody that would be afforded prisoners in US jails or prisons.

"There is basically not a facility there. Basically, they are being in what looks to me as a kennel.
That would be unacceptable," he said.

Mr Wright believes that part of the decision not to determine their status and not to bring
them on US soil is "so that their incarceration does not have to meet US standards and
US laws do not apply."
