Friends,
Gitmo keeps on giving. The condemnation of Gitmo is a condemnation of Bush's complete disreguard for the law. I am ashamed.

A Prison of Shame, and It's Ours, N.Y. Times Editorial
"The new material suggests two essential truths about Guantánamo:
"First, most of the inmates were probably innocent all along, but Pakistanis or Afghans turned them over to America in exchange for large cash rewards. The moment we offered $25,000 rewards for Al Qaeda supporters, any Arab in the region risked being kidnapped and turned over as a terrorism suspect."
"Second, torture was routine, especially early on. That’s why more than 100 prisoners have died in American custody in Afghanistan, Iraq and Guantánamo."
