[Peace-discuss] Gitmo to close, torture out

[C. G. Estabrook]

Where are all the people freed by this order?

The USG asserts its right to continue to imprison -- with or without trial --
and "interrogate" people it seized in an illegal invasion, while those who
ordered torture enjoy their pensions.

What would we say of similar behavior by, say, an Asian country? --CGE
