Back during the Iraq War, we posted about the attacks against the Guantanamo prison camp.
Let's concede that some mistakes may have been made in the handling of prisoners.
Let's concede that this happens in every war. During World War 2, undisciplined US soldiers often brutalized German prisoners.
It happens. It's war.
Yet, it is not the policy of the US to torture people.
I should add that the men in Guantanamo are among the world's worst criminals. They are not there because they forgot to return their library book on time.
It got frustrating when the world "gulag" was brought into the debate.
A Gulag in the old USSR was one of the worst violators of human rights in the world.
Guantanamo is not one of these places.
The US has taken extreme care in providing these prisoners with a holy book, three meals a day and a place to live. We did not cut any one's head off. We did not torture anyone.
So stop these cheap shots against the US armed forces.
