Trial would have done Stalin proud - lawyer - World - smh.com.au

“First there was indefinite detention without charge. Then there
was the torture, however the Bush lawyers, including his
attorney-general, might choose to describe it. Then there was the
extorted confession of guilt.”

The controversial deal came a day after the US Defence
Secretary, Robert Gates, told a congressional committee in
Washington that tribunal verdicts would lack credibility because of
the reputation of Guantanamo around the world.

You’ve got to hand it to Gates for coming out and saying the obvious. Rumsfeld (and a bunch of marines) recently averted disaster regarding the Abu Ghraib incidents. It seems to me that the world is tossing allegations about the quality of the Iranian hostage system, meanwhile disregarding the horrible atrocities being committed in their own prisoner detention centers. They seem to be doing a good job of getting people to admit to committing various crimes, and it seems like there’s more to come.
