Guantanamo Bay and Censorship of the Media The United States is and always will be a beacon of freedom, and fair treatment correct? Not necessarily. The United States has used multiple different torture techniques to extract information. This is not the worst part, The United States government has knowingly censored the media that already has limited access to the base and its many prisons. The activities at the camp that have been censored and need to stop are unlawful and unfair trials, enhanced interrogation techniques, and finally abuse of prisoners inside of Guantanamo Bay, censorship of this base must be brought to a stop because this is not only unethical …show more content…
After World War II the officials in charge of Nazi Germany could not go unpunished. The way the United States decided the way that the officials were to be dealt with was called The Nuremberg Trials.

All in all Censorship of Guantanamo Bay Naval Base Prisons simply doe not work. This is because of the reasons of the abuse of prisoners is simply wrong, unlawful trials, and the fact that enhanced interrogation techniques do not always work. The people of the United States should be outraged that our government would ever consider censoring their actions. Torture is an unlawful and barbaric tactic that is not only simply wrong, but it is illegal. Therefore the United States must not censor the activities that occur at Guantanamo Bay Naval Base in
