Yes George, Guantanamo Prison Was Stupid Too

This week has seen three prisoners commit suicide at the U.S. run prison for "enemy combatants" in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and a ton of renewed criticism for the United States.

The prison that Amnesty International has called "a gulag of our times" has been a source of resentment around the world. Even our allies think the practices at the prison are outrageous and reluctantly, the Bush Administration is admitting that the prison is hurting us more than it is helping us.

Too bad it has taken them over three years to catch on to what the rest of the world had been saying all along.

I agree that what has been going on in the prisons is horrific, but it is in my opinion that the bush administration did not just catch on finally but could no longer ignore it because of all the publicity. ~Tina Williams
