“The top of the Catholic hierarchy in the United States on Tuesday called on U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel to close down the Guantanamo Bay prison facility. ‘Detainees have the right to a just and fair trial held in a timely manner,’ he told Hagel. ‘For at least 86 detainees ‘a crime has not first been proven.’ The indefinite detention of detainees is not only injurious to those individuals, it also wounds the moral reputation of our nation, compromises our commitment to the rule of law, and undermines our struggle against terrorism.’ Pates further said reports of forced feedings of prisoners on hunger strike suggested the U.S. was violating basic human rights.”
