As America saw the process of capturing, detaining, and questioning these people, the courts began to question the legality of it all. In regards to these prisoners, they were denied their rights afforded to them by the Geneva Convention Relative to the Treatment of Prisoners of War, and their constitutional rights in a sovereign part of the United States. Because of the US Court system, the prisoners are slowly gaining their due process and are realizing their rights. It is sad to think that a large scale disregard for national and international law, such as detainment in Guantanamo Bay, is what it takes to examine closely the actuals rights of a human being. Guantanamo Bay should not necessarily be closed, but the neglect of the prisoners needs to stop. Examining the improper actions held by the Bush Administration as well as correcting their legal actions brings the world forward in establishing ethical and sound treatments of prisoners such as the ones in Guantanamo
