09/11 – The Road to Guantanamo

16.09.2024

September 11 marked yet another anniversary of the terrorist attacks in the United States, which prompted the George W. Bush administration to invade Afghanistan, and a little later, in the spring of 2003, Iraq. In addition to the consequences of these wars for the inhabitants of the two countries and the United States itself, the shameful stain associated with this military adventure is the secret prison at Guantanamo, where prisoners are still being held.
