everyone''s so all-fired sure that everyone being held at gitmo is an american baby killer. After all these years, they haven''t even been TRIED yet. For all we know, their neighbor turned innocent people in for money because the dog poooed on the neighbor''s lawn. I tend to think the holdup and unwillingness for these people to be tried in front of a jury is that then the truth will come out. They don''t want these people to be represented or their stories heard because they know that it''s us that got it wrong. Another thing is that with all of the torture and solitary confinement, these guys are probably crazy as bugbeds. hopefully someday, their stories will be told.
Over SIX years of war. Civil rights breached by our commander in chief. Internationally recognized torture sanctioned by the White House. Two invaded and currently occupied countries. Hundreds of thousands dead, including OVER 4500 American soldiers. Billions of our tax dollars spent, and yes, are still being spent to this very moment.
Iraq, which had NOTHING to do with 9/11, is now an occupied country which will implode when we get out of it, whether that happens one, two, ten or five hundred years from now. A society that CHOOSES to be ruled by religion cannot become a democracy; it can only be a theocracy with voting cards.
Bin Laden still lives. The mastermind of 9/11 still walks free.
The one, simple word for this is: failure. No amount of deception, indignation or wailing by republicons can change these facts.
Failure of Bush. Failure of Cheney. Failure of the republicans.
Hmmm ... if they closed down the camp I wonder how many detainees would get "lost" in the shuffle to other bases. Or maybe they have a base in mind that is NOT considered US territory and legally under local jurisdiction, perhaps a jurisdiction with laws friendlier to Emperor W''s Inquisition.
''Save Gitmo!''??? This is not a !@#$ING joke! there are men that have been held without trial for YEARS there. that''s the M.O. of some other country, last time i checked habeas corpus is a cornerstone for our whole way of life. toss that out and you''ve tossed out a piece of America...so in effect George Bush and his buddies are destroying America.

Don''t let the BushCo necon criminals cut and run. Hold them accountable. There''s an idea. Might even bring up America''s profile in the world if we do the right thing for a change.
Cohen and his headline had me worried there for a minute that he''d lost his mind and gone over to the other side. But, as usual, he''s got the ethics right on this one. Can''t wait to see who calls him names. Someone I''d never hire to work for me, for sure.
