A watch tower is seen at Camp X-Ray detention facility in Guantanamo Bay
A view of a watch tower at Camp X-Ray detention facility in Guantanamo Bay U.S. Naval Base August 5, 2009. The facility, which has been left in its present state as it is being preserved as an evidence in law suits and was opened after the deadly Sept. 11, 2001 attacks on the United States, became a symbol of detainee abuse and detention without charge under the previous administration of George W. Bush. U.S. President Barack Obama has vowed to close Guantanamo Bay, which currently holds some 225 detainees, and has also ordered a stop to harsh interrogation methods.
