It's been a busy week so far, and it was only last night that I got to the Sunday New York Times Opinion section.
One of the most powerful criticisms of imprisonment, torture, and prosecution of terrorists held in Guantanamo is offered by Morris Davis, a former Air Force colonel and chief prosecutor for military commissions at Guantanamo.
Morris had the moral courage, and the respect for the letter of the law to retire when asked to use testimony acquired through the use of torture, and he refused. He was also placed under a gag order and ordered not to testify, when requested, by a Senate committee.
This speaks volumes to the moral vacuum of this administration, the Pentagon, and our country has fallen into.
The military is about to conduct show trials, well, not trials, but kangaroo courts, to try accused 9/11 attackers. The verdicts reached, will be forever tainted by the injustices meted out by the United States.
