Thanksgiving Day Menu at Guantanamo
The troops celebrated Thanksgiving at Guantanamo:
Yesterday, it was the end of the Muslim holdiay Ramadan. Today, it's Thanksgiving. The prison at Guantanamo Bay Naval Base in Cuba has marked the holidays with traditional cuisines.
The prisoners got lentils, baklava, dates and chicken stew yesterday. Their captors are eating turkey, stuffing, cranberries and pumpkin pie today.
The base holds some 660 prisoners from 44 countries captured in the war with al-Qaida and other militant groups. International human rights groups accuse the U-S of denying the prisoners justice. More than 20 of the men have attempted suicide.
