Some people out there are saying that those who are speaking out against the Guantanamo Bay prison camp are only trying to hurt the U.S and were “propagandists.”
These kinds of comments are coming from people who aren’t interested in hearing what the opposition is saying to them, won’t do something about it unless there is a personal benefit to them, and believe the REAL propaganda coming from the White House and the military brass.
Representative Hunter should really pay attention to what people are trying to tell him instead of resorting to name-calling others who disagree with his opinion. Coming from a man with his education and experience, it is disappointing to hear him play the political game in this way.
And lawmakers, of all people, should appreciate the value of human rights and respect for the establishment of justice in every corner of the world.
How can we, as a nation, insist that other nations establish strong judicial traditions, when we, as a nation, tolerate the absence of justice for certain types of prisoners in certain parts of the world?
The hypocrisy must END!
Charge these people with crimes and let an American jury decide on their guilt or innocence! Some of these prisoners have been held for three years (so far); that’s long enough to determine if they have valid information to give or not.
