Guantanamo Bay Detention Camp should close
Crosby, S. S., & Benavidez, G. (2018). From Nuremberg to Guantanamo Bay: Uses of
physicians in the war on terror. American Journal of Public Health, 108(1), 36–41.
The journal article illustrates the involvement of the health professionals in torturing
detainees in Guantanamo Bay detention camp. For instance, authors explain that while
some doctors were not actively engaged in torture, their supervisors and some doctors
actively performed torture such as rectal rehydration and waterboarding. The data in the
article was obtained from the healthcare professionals who directly or indirectly
participated in gathering intelligence after the 9/11 terrorist attack. The warrant to the
argument is that using the medical professionals for executing torture and pain is against
the professional and ethical considerations. The backing to the warrant is the knowledge
and awareness of the existing rules and ethics that are documented and signed by the
physicians before their professional certification.

COMMUNICATION 3
The rebuttal to the warrant are the critics that the medical practitioners could be working
under the strict command and supervision of the military generals where they are left
without alternatives rather than carrying out the medical tortures. The warrant and the
backing are appropriate foundations for authoritative reasoning that seeks to address the
claim that the Guantanamo Bay Detention Camp should be closed since it is making the
medical practitioners to go against the ethical dictates of administering pain in the fight
against war and terror. Concisely, the claim presents a proper qualifier for both the
warrant and its backing that seeks to restore the professional violations being committed
by the healthcare professionals in the US at under the watch of the government in the
name of the fight against terror and war.
