Once again we find ourselves being misled by the Bush administration. In recent days President Bush stated his intention to close the prison at Guantanamo. Now we hear from the Pentagon of the impending opening of a new maximum security facility, Camp 6. Millions of dollars have been spent for a permanent facility designed to hold 200 prisoners. Not much evidence of any winding down in this series of events.
There seemed to be hope on the horizon with the Hamdan decision from SCOTUS. Now we not only find the administration calling on Congress to legalize the confinement and torture of detainees but we find them planning permanent detention centers. No longer am I surprised and yet I continue to be shocked by the absolute lack of integrity in this crowd. How much longer can our country afford this bunch? How much lower can they stoop? We can only hope the end will come in November with the elections.
