I noticed none of you Reactionaries had showed up the other day in the OTHER Guantamo thread. I guess nothing bad is going on there. They probably just located it on foreign soil for no reason at all:
One of those inquiries, the findings of which are expected to be issued soon by Air Force Lieut. General Randall Schmidt, was spurred by eyewitness accounts from FBI agents at Gitmo from mid-2002 to mid-2004. According to just-released memos, agents reported seeing captives shackled in a fetal position for 24 hours without food or water and left in their own excrement, another gagged with duct tape that covered much of his head and another who had torn out his hair after being chained all night in a hot room. Former Army Sergeant Erik Saar, who served at Gitmo and wrote Inside the Wire with TIME correspondent Viveca Novak, has described an instance in which a female interrogator smeared fake menstrual blood on a captive's face. It may have been a measure of how detainees are treated that when Army Specialist Sean Baker played the role of an inmate in a 2003 training exercise, he says he was beaten so badly by MPs, who did not know he was one of them, he now has seizures. The Army is investigating the incident, and Baker has filed suit against the government, seeking damages for his injuries.
The value of holding the detainees for information:
Still, earlier this year the civilian head of intelligence at Guantanamo admitted in newspaper interviews that the majority of detainees were no longer of much intelligence value and were not even being regularly interrogated.We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution. - Abraham LincolnComment

All those resources bogged down in Iraq could have been used to find the guy. Instead they were wasted on a silly side war based on a lie.We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution. - Abraham LincolnComment

So what? It's just one piece of ongoing pattern. Duh. The memos were released this week of other abuses.
Your apathy towards the situation is charming though.

If you want to give credence to your assertion that OBL should have been been caught sooner you'd have to actually bother to provide a credible reason why. But that would require some work and maybe a little reasoning.Originally posted by Ted Striker

That's not true at all. He can talk about Abu Ghraib too. I've seen him do it!... then you obviously haven't noticed that Gitmo is all Ted can talk about anymore.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891Comment
