"When I said 'No Visitor' I meant 'No Visitors'"

A Swiss Senator, Dick Marty, who is investigating the treatment of detainees at the hands of their American gaolers for the Council of Europe, has had his request to visit the Guantánamo detention facility denied by US authorities. Mr. Marty had planned to travel to Cuba with the United Nations special rapporteur for torture in order to talk with prisoners.

Is anyone surprised?
