re: Once again, it's the liberal version of black-n-white. Either you treat the Gitmo prisoners with five-star accomodations, or we'll consider it abuse and torture on the level of the Soviet gulags or the Nazi concentration camps.

The comparison isn't with "Soviet gulags or the Nazi concentration camps". The comparison is what the US has stood for in the past.

Torture used to be a taboo for this country; now, with this administration it's a matter of degree, a "nuance" if you like. Hardly Reagan's "Shining City on a Hill"; we're down in the gutter with the rest of them.

If you can't see that then go "nuance" yourself. You are part of the problem.
