      Time's spiciest take on Guantanamo Bay is to cite Amnesty International calling it "the gulag of our times". No mention of torture and Time makes the case that the US has legal right to occupy that part of Cuba.

      Though honestly, Guantanamo Bay is less abhorrent than the black sites and the mass murder campaigns. The US routinely targets and destroys civilian infrastructure in Middle Eastern countries unfortunate enough to be in its crosshairs, creating famines, disease, malnutrition, and associated refugee crisis. Millions murdered. It destroys entire societies, militarily disrupting their basic social fabric in an attempt to open up markets for investment, the definition of imperialism.
