MIAMI (AP) - Revised rules for the treatment and military trials of detainees at the Guantanamo Bay prison camp are "too little and too late," Britain's attorney general said Monday, repeating his call to close the facility.
Attorney General Lord Goldsmith said that Guantanamo remains a symbol of injustice because prisoners held in the facility in Cuba cannot use American courts to protest their detention and may be convicted of crimes on the basis of coerced evidence and other means not typically allowed in civilian courts.
"There remain fundamental problems with this system of detention," Goldsmith told the American Bar Association at its meeting in Miami.
