To CJ and all who get this far…

I have read the whole blog and watched the footage and have found it most intriguing. Though I have to say my knowledge of the events that have occurred here is limited i don’t even wish to express any particular opinion on any moral stance, Instead I am seeking them. One thing still remains today… Guantanamo!
I know sometime has past now since the last comment and am even debating wether or not this will get any response…. But here it goes, does anyone out there have any ideas of what to do with the place if (and hopefully more a case of when) Gitmo decommissioned?

There is one man for sure in Guant. who is innocent. Shakar Aamer. This man was not involved in any acts of war etc. He is married to an English Citizen and has 4 children. This man has been brutally treated. He needs to go back free to his family immediately. He has been held prisoner for almost 10 years now.

John, you just wasted a lot of breath and keystrokes here. You said nothing. You provided nothing we didn’t already know, including the usual Bush bashing. Congratulations for adding to the discussion! NOT. A few questions:

How do you know McCrystal knew what was happening in Abu Ghraib?
How do you know we had secret prisons in Syria?
Where are these other “Abu Ghraib”-type atrocities you speak of?

You present nothing but empty rhetoric and conspiracy theory. I was in Iraq during the Abu Ghraib timeframe and ran a detention facility, so I can say with assurity that you are also a moron.

Hey- nice way to continue the scapegoating of the lowest rank people for what was policy coming down from the Bush administration. Great way to support troops. Command always give themselves plausible denial. Maybe some guys on the ground don’t even realize they are doing what’s expected. McCrystal knew what was happening in Abu Graib. Men testified he was there and several similar places in Iraq. Abu Graib was not the only one, plus we had secret little prisons in several countries- probably even Syria. It was bizarre. So call the guy a moron. Just listen to his testimony and realize he was a small pawn in much larger picture that does not end with him. Gitmo was the cleaner image for public consumption. How many Gitmo prisoners were transferred out to some other prison never to return?

Thsanks for the article. I’m amazed at the idiots who think that terrorists who never signed onto the Geneva Conventions and who violate them daily are entitled to the protection of those conventions. I’m also amazed at the cowardice of the opposition. As someone said, they ARE consistent with their values: they behave dishonestly and in a cowardly way. Fortunately those values are not those of the vast majority of service personnel. It remains to be seen whether the American people prefer the inarticulate mumbles of the integrity-free to the ideals of honesty and courage.

Yes you did Brandon. You let your country down when you turned a blind eye to torture you say you witnessed and said nothing about.

I just listened to some of his testimony.

So…..where’s the torture? I don’t get his personal testimony given. It amounts to nothing.

Love how he concludes that as he “read more” (Daily Kos? Moveon.org? MSNBC?), he turned against the war and the real terrorists are George Bush and Dick Cheney.
