Canadian industrial band Skinny Puppy has sent the U.S. Department of Defense an invoice for $666,000 (the fee structure of the beast) for using its songs as the aural equivalent of waterboarding at Guantanamo Bay, keyboardist cEvin Key told CTV.

After spending more than a decade in the notorious detention camp, six Guantanamo Bay prisoners have been transferred to Uruguay for resettlement, the Pentagon announced in a statement today.

The Miami Herald's Carol Rosenberg, who covers Guantanamo Bay more closely than anyone, got this photo of a "how-to weigh a detainee hunger striker guide" before it was removed from the prison wall.

Of all of the unfulfilled promises of Barack Obama's presidency, none stands out more starkly than the continued operation of the disgraceful black hole that is Guantanamo Bay prison. Now, Obama is apparently trying to close the prison while he still can.

In a surprise bipartisan move Thursday, the Republican-led House passed a plan that could make it easier to transfer most of the remaining 160 U.S. terror detainees from their prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to other locations overseas.

In a speech interrupted by frequent heckling, President Obama today made a bold and daring call for America to try to adhere to age-old concepts of "law" and "basic human rights" in the amorphous and endless "war on terror." But might treating people "decently" threaten Our Freedoms?

A Defense Department contractor in charge of the prisoners' library at the Guantanamo Bay detention camp reports that early episodes of the '90s sitcom The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air are in high demand among the 168 captives presently serving out the second decade of an indefinite detention.

The hearing for the self-proclaimed mastermind of the September 11th terrorist attacks, plus four other conspirators, got off to a chaotic start on Saturday, as the defendants ignored the judge, refused to acknowledge the proceedings, and generally pursued other interests, including light arts and crafts.

Remember when everyone peed their pants about trying embassy bomber Ahmed Ghailani in a U.S. civilian court? He was just sentenced to life in prison. Maybe now we can try the rest of the Guantanamo detainees here?

The Obama administration has loudly opposed a provision of the omnibus spending bill, passed last week by the House, that would ban the transfer of Guantanamo Bay detainees to U.S. soil, even for trial.

Ex-Guantanamo guard feels bad about the abuses he witnessed. Friends ex-detainee on Facebook. Ex-detainee responds. BBC flies guard to London to meet and apologize. They crack jokes. I think we've found a 10 pm show for NBC.

Here's a twist on the classic "complain to a reporter's editor" school of aggressive media relations: a male Navy commander has filed a sexual harassment complaint against a female Miami Herald reporter. She called people "bitches!" And much more, allegedly.
