I don't agree with this decision, but at least the majority of the detainees have been released or tried already. The government had to let a ton of them go under Bush simply because they had almost nothing to hold them on. I honestly think there are only around 100 even left. |
Akuma587 from the waterboarding thread: "So...being better than Russia on human rights means something? That's like saying you are less crooked than Richard Nixon."
Interesting when you compare US interrogation techniques to other countries, it means nothing that we do something less cruel, but when the president you like does something less cruel then the president you don’t like, all the sudden it means everything.
