Nach der zügigen Amtentscheidung zu Beginn von Präsident Obamas Regierungsperiode, das berüchtigte Gefängnis zu schließen, fehlen bisher konkrete Pläne zur Ausführung. Um die Regierung unter Druck zu setzen, hat Human Rights Watch, eine Organisation, die sich für die Einhaltung der Menschenrechte einsetzt, heute einen Brief an General Eric Holder gesendet, in dem Details über die Einzelfälle der Jugendlichen aufgelistet sind. Die Betonung liegt dabei auf der Tatsache, dass die Gefangenenbehandlung internationale Standards des Jugendstrafrechts verletze. Jugendliche unter 18 Jahren dürfen nur so kurz wie möglich inhaftiert bleiben, ihre Rehabilitation stehe an erster Stelle, außerdem sollen sie von erwachsenen Straftätern separiert werden und die Erlaubnis erhalten, Kontakt zu ihren Familien aufzunehmen. Die jungen Männer, die als Kinder außer Landes verschleppt wurden, haben ihre vermeintlichen Straftaten unter Folter gestanden und waren langer Einzelhaft, entsetzlichen Demütigungen, sowie psychischen und physischen Misshandlungen ausgesetzt. Aufgabe der Obama-Regierung ist es nun, die Probleme, die aus den illegalen Verhaftungstaktiken und extremen Machtansprüchen der Bush-Regierung resultieren, aufzufangen und zu lösen.

You're wasting your energy – and I speak as one who has expended a great deal of effort and time in the cause of repatriation. The law and morality are clear: he should be repatriated. The reality is, however, that if it was going to happend, then it would have happened by now.

I suspect that our government is not telling us what it thinks the real problem is with Omar Khadr's repatriation. I suspect that our government has concerns about the environment to which Omar Khadr would be returning. I know that I have concerns about this also.
