There's good news for the 434 suspected members of al-Qaeda and the Taliban now being held in Camp Delta at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The detainees no longer have to relieve themselves into plastic bags. Bensayah Belkacem, an Algerian who is suspected of plotting to blow up the American embassy in Sarajevo, Bosnia, shared the news in a recent letter to his wife.

Each excursion starts on the picturesque East Wallabi Island for a walk along the pristine sands of Turtle Bay and includes a snorkeling expedition and light refreshments.
