Talk:Guantanamo Bay detention camp

Second courtroom
The article relies on a December 2021 New York Times article from Carol Rosenberg about the second courtroom building at GTMO which says observers will not have access. Rosenberg later updated this statement on Twitter to say that a new design will include a gallery like the main courtroom. Rather than explain this minor point, I am updating the paragraph to leave out the discussion of an observer gallery. Checkpoint42 (talk) 18:26, 10 February 2023 (UTC)

Enemy combatants
The article says, "At the time, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld said the detention camp was established to detain extraordinarily dangerous people, to interrogate detainees in an optimal setting, and to prosecute detainees for war crimes. In practice, the site has long been used for enemy combatants." Any thought on what the second sentence is trying to convey? Rumself might be describing people which might be called "enemy combatants" in a general, non-legal sense, which would call into question the structure of the sentence as expression a contrary view. In a narrow law-of-war sense, and "enemy combatant" is a member of an enemy nation's armed forces with belligerent privilege who must be given POW status under the Geneva Conventions. The original author might have been thinking of "unlawful combatant," a controversial term abandoned by the Obama Administration. Not sure how to edit this sentence to keep the intended meaning.
