There's no getting around the dark history of Guantanamo Bay detention camp. The U.S. military facility in Cuba was where America first embraced indefinite detention and, by many reports, torture.
After more than a decade of operations, however, many say that conditions have improved.
We had that impression after visiting the camp for five days in March. Although our tour of the facility was controlled by the military, we came away with the feeling that compliant detainees receive better treatment than most prisoners in the United States. For non-compliant detainees, like the 92 going on hunger strike right now, conditions remain highly restrictive.
As for torture, the Obama administration has ordered that it stop — believe what you will.
Indefinite detention? America is no longer adding detainees but has not figured out what to do with the ones that are already there.
What's really happening at Guantanamo? We invite you to look over our pictures and form your own opinion.
This single airstrip on the southwestern edge of Cuba is one of the only ways into Guantanamo Bay Naval Base.
The detention camp was opened in 2002 to hold captives from America's War On Terror. Images of prisoners in orange jumpsuits from the temporary facility at Camp X-Ray are what most people picture when they think of Guantanamo.
Camp Delta succeeded X-Ray as a more long-term place to hold up to 612 detainees.
