Gitmo is known worldwide as the limbo-land prison Bush created so that he would be free of American law, where he could do whatever he wanted to the people he thought were terrorists, while simultaneously denying them any human rights.

No matter what the truth of the situation, in the imagination of people around the world, especially potential terrorists and supporters, Gitmo is today's Spanish Inquisition.

Values are tested when it's HARD to keep them, not when it's easy. The Bush administration failed that test after 9/11. The question now is whether our values are permanently lost, or if it was just an abberation. Looks like our wingnuts are fearfully ready to chuck them for good at a moment's notice.
