Telesur has picked up a story from the AP wire about a visit next week by new U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder to the Guantanamo Bay prison facility. The difference in the Telesur story - which is taken almost word for word from the AP story- is Telesur describes Guantanamo as an “illegal prison,” a description which they use in the headline as well: “New U.S. Attorney General to Visit Illegal Prison”. While Gitmo is a popular subject among international broadcasters, none of the other networks describe Gitmo as an illegal prison. The only other similar description I’ve seen is in Cuban newspapers (like Juventud Rebelde ) which describe Guantanamo as an "illegally-occupied naval base”.
