Where is/was the outrage when terrorists took thier prisoners and broadcast their beheadings over the internet? The U.S. denies some sleaze-ball Charmin toilet paper and it's supposed to be a national disgrace...

Ultimately the whole truth will come out and historians will have their say, and Americans will look in the mirror and be ashamed. This assumes that's all the price we will have to pay. The price may be much steeper than just shame. Some of the prisoners being held by the C.I.A. are no doubt murderous individuals who, given the opportunity, would do tremendous harm. There are others, however, whose links to terrorist activities are dubious at best, and perhaps nonexistent. This is shameless. If you think they have done something, then put them on trial. The truth is they don't know whether these prisoners are guilty of something or not so they let them sit and rot in their prisons. None of this has given the administration pause. It continues to go out of its way to block a legislative effort by Senator John McCain, the Arizona Republican, to ban the "cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment" of any prisoner in U.S. custody. How effective would McCain be as president if can't even get an issue very dear to his heart passed by his party? Seriously, John, this has bothered me about McCain for a while. ted
