	Camp Delta - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Camp Delta, composed of detention camps 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and Camp Echo, is a permanent 612-unit detention center at Guantanamo Bay that replaced the temporary facilities of Camp X-Ray.
		Camp Iguana was a low-security detention center for juvenile detainees aged 13 to 15, which was converted in 2004 to a low-security center to house detainees no longer classified as illegal enemy combatants, but who cannot return to their homelands due to concerns for their safety.
		Camp Echo is a detention center where pre-commissions are held.

	The opacity of Camp X-Ray
		Camp X-Ray sidesteps these conventions (as also the U.S. statutory law, Title 18, Section 242 of the U.S. Code, that prohibits the transportation of persons for torture) to allow the "torture of conditions" to "break" the prisoners' fortitude.
		To most of the world, Camp X-Ray is another example of the U.S. flagrantly violating international norms in its own interests, unconcerned about the niceties of law and precedent or the criticisms of even its own allies.
		Short of that, the brutal conditions at Camp X-Ray may assist the U.S. intelligence officers to extract information on Al Qaeda networks in Indonesia, the Philippines and the rest of the oil lands, in order to enable the U.S.' ongoing operations in the area.

		In fact, the majority of Camp Delta prisoners today are held in maximum security cells that are often even smaller than those at Camp X-Ray.

		Of course, the Bush administration decided to classify their guests not as POWs, but as "unlawful combatants." Doing so absolves the United States of any obligations under the Geneva Conventions and international law.
