Twenty years ago today, the first prisoners arrived at the newly built camp x-ray prison at the US naval base in Cuba's Guantanamo Bay. It was supposed to be a makeshift jail and never intended to be permanent but from day one, it had an ambiguous legal status: outside normal US law, it housed what the military called “enemy combatants” not prisoners of war.
