This memo is to address questions and concerns over the status and treatment of Guantanamo detainees. The memo states that: 1) the U.S. does not permit, tolerate or condone torture; 2) Detainees get excellent medical care; 3) the Al-Qaeda operatives are committed to killing Americans and others; and 4) the detainees are not criminals awaiting trial, but enemy combatants and are being held under detention to prevent them from carrying out their agenda to commit acts of terror.
