The most interesting suggestion that I've seen about the need for some review of the torture we committed is that we need some fair and open review of the information obtained that way -- as in, was it more than vaguely accurate? Cheney is so sure about how it's been a really useful tool, it only seems fair that we should have a real accounting of what information was "obtained" and whether it turned out to be useful.
When you find out that one of the Guantanamo detainees was 14 when captured -- and according to torture-obtained testimony was supposedly in Al Qaida training in London when he was 11... yeah, I bet it's mostly all like that.
If there's anything nicer than a US jail, it's a prison! That's what I've always heard, anyway....
It's a real problem especially where our detainees were innocent. Or even if they aren't! Really think they aren't gonna harbor any ill will or seriously fucked up psyches after Guantanamo for 7 or whatever years? We have to right and just by them, but how? I hope we find a way. I'm glad my country is finally addressing that, but it will be a doozy. "Oops, sorry, the previous guy was wrong? Have a nice day?"
the aftereffects of this morning's procedure.
ita, how are you? I'm sorry there's aftereffects.

Nah, you think?
Is anyone else having issues with Gmail? It's flipping out when I try to go to the site, no matter how I try to get there. Weird.
I saw an interview with a detainee that was released from Gitmo after it was determined he was innocent. He said if a person wasn't a terrorist when they went in, the sure as hell would be when they came out.
So, yeah, we've actually created terrorists.
Still, I'd like to see a little due process.
That argues for reparations. Lots of psychological damage. We need to provide with enough so they don't need to work, and pay medical bills including mental health treatment. Also some of them are guilty, but if they were tortured that contaminates the evidence against them and they still have to be let free. Innocent or guilty if they were tortured they have to be let free. (In theory not true, but if you tortured someone try to establish beyond a reasonable doubt that any evidence you have against them is independent of that.) Really this is not complicated. It may be hard, but it is simple.
I just changed browsers and got in fine. Hmmm.
In pain, juliana. This one hurt much more than the others. But at least it's a smaller spot than was uncomfortable last time.
