A top human rights advocate is characterizing as "a self-inflicted wound" the failure of the Bush administration to find countries willing to grant asylum to Guantanamo prisoners it has cleared for release. "The administration created this problem by repeatedly describing all Guantanamo detainees as 'the worst of the worst,'" says Jumana Musa of Amnesty International USA in an exclusive interview with Truthout. But, she adds, "Given the misleading rhetoric our government has used to describe these prisoners, we shouldn't be surprised that no one wants to take them."
