[edit] discussion for concentration camp
[edit] POV
Since there was no discussion when the tag was added, I decided to start one. Any thoughts wether the article is neutral? I'll remove the tag in a week if no-one contributes. thanks Chosongul 18:29, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
- I'm not sure about calling Guantanamo Bay a concentration camp. Technically they're prisoners of war aren't they? Archer7 - talk 17:24, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
- no, technically not because some are british and french. America just plays this down Chosongul 20:25, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
- Guantanamo Bay is NOT a concentration camp. This article should be about internment in general. PullToOpen Talk 20:43, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
- A concentration camp is a camp for prisoners who oppose a certain government, a POW camp is a camp for enemy soldiers taken prisoner, this means that Guantanamo is by definition a concentration camp Chosongul 10:11, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
- The problem with those held at the Guantanamo bay facilities is that they are not Prisoners of War, as of the Geneva convention, but Illegal Combatants. And yes, a concentration camp has nothing to do with this; as it holds only people opposing a certain government. -- Eptalon 10:24, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Simplification.
The final paragraph starts out the a 72 word run on sentence from hell. POV issues aside, that needs to be cleaned up and simplified badly. Also tagged the other 2 sentences in that paragraph as {fact} for comparison of function of Soviet and US camps and confirmed Suicide attempts. -- Creol 12:16, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
