honestly, i don't give a rats behind about international uproar in this regard. 9/11 and the recent attack happened here-attacks against the u.s. it was the contention of the previous administration, as well as congress who gave approval, that this fight against terror is a war. therefore, any combatants held at any location such as gitmo, are being lawfully detained under the geneva conventions. as enemy combatants, the fourth geneva explicitly states the enemy combatants who are tried are to be tried by a military tribunal. this convention also goes into detail about the treatment of said combatants, including labor, medical care, and the like.
i'm not sure what illegalities you mean.
