Guantanamo is equivalent to a Soviet Gulag with all its attendant inhumanities and its farcical pretense at serving out justice. Moreover, it is evident that after six years not a single inmate is guilty of anything. A fair and honest trial conducted without the use of torture or intimidation would demonstrates this fact. The Military Commissions as conceived by VICE President Dick Cheney and Zionists protege David Addington are modeled on Israeli variants of the same procedural farce–there can be nothing but juridical abominations here.

Guantanamo, the elimination of habeas corpus especially, proves that America has abandoned even the pretense of Justice. ‘Justice’ in America has become a criminal enterprise, administered by criminals and to keeping the criminals in power.

Col. Davis’ actions are commendable, but they are too little and too late to undo the damage to constitutional principles that used to define (at least ideally) America. The criminals have set a new course for this nation, and it will be hell on earth.
