My problem with Guantanamo is that they did what they did without being sure they had done anything or that they actually held "vital" information. They just did it out of the possibility.

 

 Well, if they were psychic they wouldn't  have to "ask" for information.



Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.
