GUANTANAMO BAY NAVAL BASE, Cuba — "Progress has been made to improve conditions and protect detainees' rights at the U.S. prison for suspected terrorists, House Republicans and Democrats, including one who has advocated closing the facility, said Saturday.

The U.S. lawmakers witnessed interrogations, toured cell blocks and ate the same lunch given to detainees on the first congressional visit to the prison for suspected terrorists since criticism of it intensified in the spring.

"The Guantanamo we saw today is not the Guantanamo we heard about a few years ago," said Rep. Ellen Tauscher (search), D-Calif.

Still, lawmakers from both parties agree more still must be done to ensure an adequate legal process is in place to handle detainee cases. In the meantime, said Rep. Joe Schwarz (search), R-Mich., "I think they're doing the best they can to define due process here."

Oh, the poor terrorists!! At last we are treating them like bad boys in Embarassed Embarassed Embarassed stead of the thugs they are. Karl Rove was soooo right. Razz Razz Razz Razz Razz Razz

In another, a female interrogator took an unusual approach to wear down a detainee, reading a Harry Potter book aloud for hours. He turned his back and put his hands over his ears.
