Good for the ICRC, and I bet they got THEIR ears filled

this visit badly needed to happen, and, if the united states wasn't so intent on behaving like a rogue, outlaw state, it would have happened a long time ago...

An International Committee of the Red Cross delegation that visited the U.S. detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, met with the 14 detainees who had been held for years in secret CIA custody, the first time the alleged high-value terrorism suspects had contact with the outside world since their initial confinement.

The U.S. military and ICRC officials confirmed yesterday that Red Cross representatives spent time with each of the 14 men in the weeks after they were transferred to Guantanamo, a series of standard meetings during which the detainees were officially registered with the international humanitarian organization and had an opportunity to meet with a doctor.

let's see the administration spin this one into a scenario of "respecting human rights and international conventions" cuz you know they will...
