Subject: RE: BS: We don' need no legal system
Maybe in some roundabout way, Stimson has done the anti-Guantanamo Bay cause a big favour by bringing it into the limelight again. As a UK citizen, I hesitate being a pot calling the kettle black but IMHO there's a big difference in someone being kept in custody, without a trial, for thirty days while investigations are ongoing and folks being shut up for years with no charge and no investigation. The danger is that, without idiots like Stimson, the problem gets shoved to the back of your mind.
When you think that the West points the finger at Eastern countries about abuse of human rights!
The sooner Bush & Blair are out, the better for the world. Thanks for starting this thread Amos but it's to our shame that you had to.
