Re: Rumsfeld

I'm having nagging feelings about what I wrote yesterday. Need for clarification. Holding prisoners at Guántanamo indefinitely, without access to legal counsel and without charging them with a crime, is completely indefensible. Claiming that they are not on "American soil" is so shabby that...well, I don't plan to put anything obscene here, so fill in the blanks yourself.

All I really meant, in yesterday's post, was that I had assumed that Guántanamo was like Dachau, and now I've changed my mind about that.
