Honor Bound to Defend Freedom

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Honor Bound to Defend Freedom is the motto of the Joint Task Force Guantánamo charged with running the Guantanamo Bay detainment camp. The invocation of "Freedom" as the rationale for internment has been noted to bear an eerie reminiscence to the Arbeit macht frei motto of the Auschwitz concentration camp, and to George Orwell's parody of a political slogan, Freedom is Slavery.

Guantanamo: Honor Bound to Defend Freedom is the title of a 2004 book by Victoria Brittain and Gillian Slovo (ISBN 1-84002-474-7).

Guantanamo: Honor Bound to Defend Freedom is also a 2004 play is based upon interviews with the families of men detained in Guantanamo Bay.[1]
