Earth Guard commanders at the Planetary Detention Facility at Leavenworth say he has been a model prisoner since being convicted of war crimes 35 years ago by the Planetary Criminal Court in The Hague. This internment camp here at Guantanamo has been preserved as a lasting reminder of his, and America's, tyranny during the early part of this century.
