Gitmo Detainees Don't have Much to Say
A lengthy article published today in the New York Times refutes the Bush Administration's assertion that the Guantanamo Bay prisoners are all (or mostly) hardcore terrorists. It also refutes the assertions that torture and near torture is the best method of interrogation.

The article confirms my fears that many of those who are sent to GITMO may have started out as harmless, but after they are hardened by the system, they become driven towards terrorist activity.

I can't believe the ignorant voters who believe that George Bush has some kind of moral high ground over Kerry. George apparently believes the golden rule means "He who has the gold makes the rules." He believes "Due Process" is how the water collects on the grass in the morning.
