Apparently, everything is possible with tenuous rationalizations. And considering that the practise of abuse and juvenile detention is widespread in the U.S. it’s no wonder they’d extend the same scurrilous treatment to foreign peoples that have already been deemed subhuman.

Independent - The notorious US detention camp in Guantanamo Bay has been hit by fresh allegations of human rights abuses, with claims that dozens of children were sent there - some as young as 14 years old.

Lawyers in London estimate that more than 60 detainees held at the terrorists’ prison camp were boys under 18 when they were captured.

They include at least 10 detainees still held at the US base in Cuba who were 14 or 15 when they were seized - including child soldiers who were held in solitary confinement, repeatedly interrogated and allegedly tortured.
