>> LOL. Yes, if Gitmo and Abu Graib happened under Obama, I guarantee you we would have the GOP all high and mighty telling us how Obama has destroyed the image of the US and he's a disgrace etc. Hypocrites all of them.

GITMO is the ideal way of handling these people. I'd support it no matter who did it.

Abu Ghraib was totally blown out of proportion, but unlike GITMO, it did have consequences for the war (the claim that GITMO was a "recruiting tool" is a damnable lie for which there is not one shred of evidence to back it up. We have seen FAR MORE in the way of recruitment tools in the last year).

Shit happens in prisons. Abu Ghraib was undoubtedly a much nicer facility when the US was running it than when Saddam was.
