#1 Guatemala, Guantanamo. A little clerical error could quite nicely take care of our jihadi prisoner problem.

Read 'em their Carmen Miranda rights, Mr. Esquivel.

#2 Somehow I get the feeling that they were in jail for a good reason.

I think a few more "transfers" are in order.

#3 He says two other inmates died in a hospital of gunshot wounds.

Funny, IIUC, in many south american jail systems, prison gangs actually sometimes battle each others with long arms and grenades, and there are mass fights involving dozens of prisoners armed not with shanks & shivs, but with machetes... apparently, in many cases, prisons are "opne", in that sense that prisoners can come and go, and many have their families housed within the prison. Pretty far removed from a western idea of a prison.
