GPS.. The Red Cross DOES have access to the Gitmo detainees.

And they've been "blasting" the US over not permitting the detainees to have access to legal counsel.

But we've also be awaiting this legal ruling by SCOTUS on the legality of military tribunals, so we really can't give them legal due process when the legality was still being debated in the courts.

Mr Girod is leading a team from the ICRC which has just completed an inspection tour of the detention camp in Cuba.

Although he did not criticise any physical conditions at the camp, he said that it was intolerable that the complex was used as "an investigation centre, not a detention centre".
