You know what — I don’t have a problem with it. They’re not letting the high value detainees take part. Only 60 inmates so far. Some of those people have been held for up to 7 years, and they’ve never even had a trial.

So long as it’s all tightly monitored and they won’t let the high value detainees take part, I don’t have an objection.

The humanitarian programme, launched quietly on Thursday, is available to all but the “high-value detainees” singled out by U.S. authorities, ICRC spokesman Simon Schorno said.

“U.S. authorities have the right to prevent detainees from taking part and also have the right to monitor and censor the video-conferencing calls,” Schorno told Reuters.
