"Camp No"

This is the isolated part of Gitmo where paddy wagons came and went, whence screams could be heard during "aggressive questioning", and whence three corpses are believed to have emerged after the kind of treatment once reserved for totalitarian states but now indelibly part of the American way.
No, this is not a satellite of a secret Iran torture chamber; it is not a Soviet camp; it is not an isolated black site in North Korea. It is in Gitmo. And it is where America's founding principles came to die.

The corpses were delivered to their families with their necks cut out, to make it impossible to tell whether they were strangled to death in a session engineered by Cheney and Rumsfeld or whether they hanged themselves simultaneously as the cover-up insisted.

4. It would seem that America has become everything
we children of the 60's were taught to hate communist China and the Soviet bloc for: spying on its own citizens, gulags, renditions, and torture. How anyone can begin to excuse any of it is beyond me. "It was bad when they did it but righteous when we do it" simply doesn't cut it.
