New York Times: Release terrorists, then blame Bush when they attack

Our Deadly Policies Are Your Fault

Yesterday's New York Times featured yet another editorial on behalf of America's enemies--demanding, as usual, that the Guanatanamo Bay detention facility be closed down and the detainees be reclassified as criminal defendants with full constitutional rights:


<<< Prisoners against whom there is actual evidence of crimes should be tried either in military or federal courts. Mounting an effective prosecution may be hard, since these prisoners were held for years without charges and some were tortured. But it is up to the administration's lawyers--who helped Mr. Bush create the problem by allowing indefinite detention and torture to begin with--to deal with it. >>>


The Times advocates a policy that would lead to the release of terrorists and quite possibly to more terrorist attacks. But if that happens, in the Times's view, it is the Bush administration's fault for resisting the Times's pro-terrorist policy.

Of course, if an attack takes place two years from now, it will be left to President Bush's successor to deal with it. But when you're a Bush-hater, you have to live for today.
