FT.com / Home UK - Clinton slams Guantanamo: "In an interview with the Financial Times, the former president called for the camp, set up to hold suspected terrorists, to 'be closed down or cleaned up'.
Mr Clinton joined critics at home and abroad who have singled out the indefinite detention of prisoners without trial and widespread reports of human rights violations at Guant�namo.
He said: 'It is time that there are no more stories coming out of there about people being abused.'
Mr Clinton said the test for judging whether harsh treatment of terrorist suspects was justified was whether it challenged the 'fundamental nature' of American society. 'If the answer is Yes, you have already given the terrorists a profound victory.'"
