Guantanamo Bay is a concentration camp - not only is it a concentration camp, but it's also a death camp: prisoners in Guantanamo have been tortured to death. The NAZIs at least gassed their victims without inflicting further undue hardship on their victims. True they suffered from Typhus, god-knows what else, and starvation; but those ailments were not intentionally inflicted. Details aside, the war crimes are equal to each other, albeit on a smaller or larger scale. Yet the individual deaths though that the USA inflicted were worse - prisoners in Guantanamo tortured to death.
So, tell us in your enlightened state -- how many people have been killed in Gitmo? And how many people were killed in Auschwitz, Birkenau, Chelmno, and the many other death camps in NaZi Gernmany? What's this you say -- the starvation was unintentional? Firstly, you'll need to demonstrate that, because from what I've read, there was certainly deliberate malnutrition practiced. Secondly, you'll need to go get those dead people and tell them, sorry, the NaZis didn't intend to kill you, it was all an accident ... even though that isn't the truth.
And -- if you think death by Zyklon-B was merciful, I'd suggest you need to do a little more studying. Google sonderkommandos, read it and weep; you'll learn details about the process of gassing that you wish you'd never learnt.
You are so desperate to criticize America that instead of opting for one of our many, many flaws to critique -- including fatal war crimes -- you've overstepped all evidence and thinking to go full Godwin, comparing a single camp with fewer than 700 prisoners and no death machinery -- and with a total of eight deaths in custody -- to a system with a hierarchy of segregation camps, labor camps, and extermination camps which killed about 4.2 million people.
"Details aside"! Only a fool ignores facts.
