Guantanamo And The End Of Hostilities, Eric Talbot Jensen
Guantanamo And The End Of Hostilities, Eric Talbot Jensen
Eric Talbot Jensen
Detainees in the War on Terror have been at Guantanamo Bay for over a decade. The justification for these detentions has been, at least in part, the on-going hostilities in Afghanistan.
