GITMO SHAMES HUMANITY

W and only the most ruthless dictators have lots of policies in common. Their bottom line is secrecy, their purpose is not nice.

Secret prisons and policies do not protect anything but power and corruption.

We have held hundreds in secret hell holes in Guantanamo for years without charging them. If they are bad, they should be charged.

They are not charged for only one reason: it would embarrass government to charge people with bad evidence. We have arrested many because they were in the wrong place. Others for practicing their own human rights. Some for a dozen mistaken reasons.

It is the paranoid police of profile justice. Lack of cultural understanding is a big problem in the US military. These are not anthropologists, do not understand other cultures they are trained to destroy.

You fear what you don't understand, then punish the victim.

It is absurd to think that useful information is obtainable from anyone who has been held incommunicado for four years. Anything he knows is obsolete simply due to time. Further, any enemy organization worth its salt would change every procedure possible once those secrets were jeopardized.

Holding prisoners illegally for obsolete information is not helpful and injures our moral standing in the world. This w has lost the good faith we had built up.

It is the time for all good men to act like it and run the bums off, then lead us to lawful and ethical behavior.

Justice is the way to peace.
