Holy sh*t! We heard the stories about these "overseas prisons" that were top secret and God knows what goes on there but I had NO idea the scope of this. 14,000 detainees. Held without knowing where they are, without knowing what is happening to them or what is going to happen, their families don't even know if they're still alive. They have no contact with the outside world. Even if the bastards in charge of this program aren't using waterboarding which has been alleged, the psychological effect of this, to me, is tanamount to torture. Where the hell does this administration get off doing this crap? Not with my permission! And last I checked, they worked for me. Although if I had anything to say about it, they'd be fired for incompetence.
If they are terrorists, you'd think we could come up with some valid charges. If they just happened to have the wrong skin color and a copy of the Quran, you'd think we could let them get on with their lives. Many of these 14,000 have been held for over 4 years. If we can't charge them after four years, it's time to fold.
Can you imagine what would happen if anyone captured 14,000 Americans suspected of hating Islam (and don't doubt that we've got 'em) and held them in secret locations? Like that wouldn't bring the bombers out. Hmmmmm, so do we really believe "they hate us for our freedom"?
