The New York Times is campaigning to shut down Gitmo , the facility housing enemy combatants at Guantanamo Bay.

Their primary talking point is that the prisoners there suffer “despair.” An editorial on Monday spoke of a “netherworld of despair.” Human Rights Watch has chimed in with “incredible despair”. And this morning the Times runs an op-ed headlined “Detainees in Despair” written by someone who has been released from Gitmo.

Fine. Shut down Gitmo.

Then ship them all to Pelican Bay.

They'll know real despair there.
