>gitmo if not "organized genocide"?

There are 39 prisoners in gitmo. In its total lifetime there have been 780 people. 9 died in custody. I wouldn't call that genocide.

AFAIK number of deaths is not relevant if something is or isn't a genocide.

Smallest genocide by death toll(killing of Tasmanian aboriginals by the British) killed just 400 to 1000 people.
