Starbucks & Gordon Quilty

[DOC] Correspondence between Starbucks and Gordon Quilty regarding Starbucks presence at Guantanamo Bay

Starbucks does not physically operate a store or sell coffee to military troops on Guantanamo Bay; rather our coffee is served in dining facilities operated by Naval Supply (NASUP)...Mr. Quilty, we completely hear your concern and recognize the significance and sensitivity of this issue. Please understand, however, that we are a coffee company and refrain from taking a position on the legality of the detention center at Guantanamo Bay. Likewise, as a publicly traded business, we do not feel it’s appropriate to comment on such matters.
