Dr. Frist Praises Gitmo: Health Care "Better Than Many Americans" Get...
Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn., said Tuesday his recent trip to the Guantanamo Bay detainee camp showed excellent prison conditions, including "24/7 medical care - better than many Americans" get.
Nevertheless, Frist, a former physician, said that the Senate must authorize military commissions to prosecute the alleged terrorists at Guantanamo in Cuba and elsewhere for "war crimes." He visited the prison with two other senators Sunday to prepare for Senate debate on legislation to legalize the commissions after a U.S. Supreme Court decision in June said they lacked congressional approval.
