Guantanamo _is_ under US jurisdiction. Raul Castro is certainly not boss there.
Other cases are illegal immigrants, various `thought criminals`, people accused of crime where court is delayed...
- jacquesm 13y agoGuantanamo hinges on the fact that even though it is under US jurisdiction it is not the US. You're preaching to the choir here. I suppose no other examples are forthcoming then.
