State Department Talking Points memo on the use of Guantanamo Bay as a detention facility for Al Qaida and Taliban detainees. The memo provides some background information on the decision to use Guantanamo, including the legislative context and Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld calling Guantanamo the “least worst place” to hold detainees. In addition, it states that the Cuban government, and Fidel Castro specifically, were not objecting to the facility being used as planned.
