Between 50 and 100 detainees held by the US at Guantanamo Bay cannot be released or put on trial, says US Defence Secretary Robert Gates.

I can't stop looking at the grooves in the wall made by that interrogation chair.

There are still hundreds of people still being detained without legal recourse at Guantanamo Bay.

So while the news media may have blithely said "goodbye, Guantanamo", there are plenty of people still chained to it - fathers and sons who are rotting a fifth, sixth, even seventh year in their cages away from their families.

Can you imagine spending seven years in a foreign prison for a make-believe crime you didn't commit? So long that photojournalists are already winning awards for photographing the hell you live in, but you're still in there.

Yep, I'm sure that's what Palu was going for with his essay.
