Entry: Who Guards the Guardians? Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/who_guards_the_guardians#29790 Post contents: You just don't get it, do you Christopher? You may be very good at analysing the minutiae, but the big picture items just fly right over your head. This is arguably your most ill-conceived article yet (and there have been a few howlers). You overlook many issues, for example: 1. The whole War on Terror is phony (really the War for Israel) and was justified by an obviously false-flag operation. 2. Most of the Guantanamo inmates have done little more than be in the wrong place at the wrong time (there have been endless articles in Anti-War on this issue, perhaps you should read a little more widely). 3. There have been all sorts of human rights abuses occurring both at Guantanamo and other US-run facilities (eg the CIA floating prisons) in flagrant disregard of US laws. There will hopefully be a day of reckoning some time soon. 4. The US is a signatory to various treaties on the rights of POWs, which it has flagrantly disregarded at Guantanamo and elsewhere. Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib are horrendous blots on the reputation of America. Irrespective of whether their rulings are unconstitutional or not, the judges are offering some small hope that the human rights and PR disaster that is Guantanamo might be resolved some time soon.
