Abstract

After 09/11 terrorist attacks, the Bush Administration declared war to Al Qaeda. As Commander in chief of the Armed Forces, President Bush authorized the detention of non-American citizens considered as "enemy combatants" (Fogarty 2005, 54). A classified report prepared by Defence Department Lawyers in 2003 indicates that the US Naval base in guantanamo bay was an appropriate place to send those enemy combatants, as it was not under the jurisdiction of the USA (Fogarty 2005, 55). The first detainees arrived at guantanamo on January 11, 2002 "blind-folded and shackle on the floor of cargo planes" (Olshansky 2007, 85). Most prisoners came from Arab countries and were hand over by Pakistani authorities to the USA. According to a survey, 57% are accused of associating with Al Qaeda or Taliban, while 43% are accused of hostilities against the US (Hegland 2006, 33).
