I'll admit that everything down there is just peachy as soon as you admit that "unlawful comabatant" status is a bunch of bullshit. Deal?

Shrug.

Seriously, it doesn't bother me that there are people, yourself included, who don't like the situation.

I have mixed feelings myself about guantanamo, although I can understand the argument about "unlawful" combatants.

The point of the article was basically to counter the far left fringe that feels we are torturing these people down there (you know, those awful pictures of the prisoners in their little yards, hands tied behind their backs, yada yada yada.)
