Guantanamo Prison 'Celebrates Civil Rights' With Terribly Unfortunate Headline Choice

The headline, "Celebrating 50 years of Civil Rights in America," is about a banquet in celebration of the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964 - but it's rather hard to ignore the terrible irony of using the phrase "civil rights" anywhere near a story about Guantanamo Bay.
The controversial prison, which has housed terror suspects seized in the Global War on Terror, has long been been criticized for the alleged torture of detainees, force-feeding practices, wrongful imprisonment, and keeping prisoners trapped in what is essentially legal limbo with no charges filed against them.
