Saudi Arabia
Most of the inmates in Guantanamo Bay are Saudis according to Saudi Arabia.

I think that's important considering 15 of the hijackers were from Saudi Arabia and since they seem to be the primary breeding ground for the world's terrorists. Should it be added? If so, where?

nationalities of detainees
It'd be interesting and useful to see a list of the nationalities of detainees at the camp if anyone can find this infomation. Grunners 17:24, 8 Feb 2005 (UTC)

The Platt Amendment
So I've been wondering for the last three years why it is that the US has a naval base in an ostensibly hostile neighbor (at least dangerous enough that we think they deserve sanctions). When the US stole cuba by force from spain those pesky cubans eventually demanded their own freedom. The US Gov "gave" it to them but with the caveat that it could keep a permanent military base, intervene in treaties, etc. Formally this was called the Platt Amendment. I added it to the see also section but I think it deserves a more prominent role in the article, perhaps a history section?

Ed
Ed, given the fact that you are currently in mediation on a page related to this topic, it might be a gesture of good faith to avoid edits here for a while

What do you think?
