And it just keeps going...
John McCain said earlier today in a statement that the courts ruling on the right of due process and trials for tortured prisoners of Guantanamo Bay is, “one of the worst decisions in the history of this country.” I mean, why should they have any rights, right? They're our POW's and all's fair in love and war, unless one of our soldiers is tortured. It never ceases to amaze me that somehow when our soldiers are tortured, there will inevitably be a war crimes trial held, but when the U.S. tortures our POW's...well there's no problem with that! More Orwellian language from the far Right! Its like when the discussion of waterboarding was going around and someone in congress, I don't remember who exactly, said that they did not consider waterboarding torture, unless it was done to them.
