Default The baddest of the bad Gitmo style

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-13184845
So to be very generous America thought 1 in 4 detainees worth throwing their nations standing into the cess pit of modern history were actualy possibly dangerous and 1 in 5 were known to be really innocent entirely but may have had some scraps of information about something pretty irrelevant on any level if they are tortured enough.

What a sorry state the supporters of these measures have left their country in.
Good luck in the search for paying someone to get the innocent released or in ever getting any reasonable conviction of any of the guilty

How many terrorists has the existence of Gitmo created vs how many has it stopped? And Tribesman brings up a good point - how much have we been paying to put lowly foot soldiers under maximum security conditions? This place is a stain on our national history.

Foot soldiers? at least there would be some sort of rationale there.
But there is the taxi driver sent there because ....well taxi drivers know what goes on in the area they drive round??????
The bloke who was a prisoner of the Taliban ....well he understands their interrogation proceedures??????

Pure wasteful madness.

The reality lies somewhere between these extremes, gentlemen.

Are there innocents in Gitmo? Perhaps. Are there guilty in Gitmo? Perhaps.

Replace "Gitmo" with the name of any other prison in any other country at any other time in history, and the statement still stands.

There are far greater forms of evil than Gitmo, and there are far greater forms of good than Gitmo.

Look to your own neighborhoods before casting aspersions at distant ones.
