Mo Gitmo

Welcome to Bagram Air Base, Afghanistan, where 500 more "detainees" are being held without trial or charges or legal recourse.

We seem to be getting good at this. James Yonts, a Pentagon spokesman, said the military in Afghanistan is "committed to treating detainees humanely and providing the best possible living conditions and medical care in accordance with the principles of the Geneva Convention." I suppose that includes sleeping on foam mats on the floor and peeing in buckets due to the lack of latrines. The jail, never intended to be or funded to be one, is considered worse than Guantanamo.

The shining light of freedom and democracy sputters once again.

The U. S. Constitution, Article 1 Section 9: "The Privelige of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety may require it." George W. Bush: The Constitution is a meaningless piece of paper. This November, you decide. No wonder his own party is abandoning him.
