Well it looks like the desicion of the US Administration to house prisoners at Gitmo, as well as the actions/abuses there are (shockingly
) causing a growing backlash.
The recent revelations/allegations that the Qur'ans where desecrated at Gitmo are causing growing protests and violence in Afghanistan, Pakistan - while provoking rallies elsewhere around the world.

Karzai slams anti-US protesters
President Hamid Karzai has said those opposed to Afghanistan's close links with Washington are responsible for riots which have left 16 people dead.
He said the protesters are "against the strengthening of the peace process".
More protests broke out on Saturday in the northern Afghan province of Baghlan, local officials told the BBC.
Unrest has been spreading across the country since Wednesday following an allegation that US guards at Guantanamo Bay desecrated Korans.
