DOS | ACLU-RDI 3915
State Department talking points memo on addressing the criticism over Guantanamo Bay detentions. The memo states that "Criticism is particularly strong in Europe and the Middle East. [The] Europeans have objected to the detention of [their] nationals with no consular visits and no timetable for transfer, release, or the bringing of criminal charges." the memo continues: "The criticisms seem to demonstrate little understanding of our motives or legal justification." The document is then heavily redacted.
