The Scott Horton and TPMmuckraker suggestions from Ms. Miller were informative and appreciated. I will follow these developments with great interest. I must admit my reaction to “tell-all” books by either Bush or Cheney is rather more simplistic than those offered by the experts. Pity the trees!

I believe Barack Obama will keep his promise sooner rather than later. I will be in Washington, D.C. for the inauguration, specifically at a ball that he is scheduled to attend. I will remind him and his advisers of his sacred promise in any and every way in my power that makes sense. Maybe I’ll wear an orange jumpsuit under my gown and strip for the cameras. Maybe I’ll try and whisper in Michele’s ear. I’ve got a few days yet to figure it out. When he closes the Guantanamo concentration camp, then we’ll have something worth celebrating, though subdued and humble a celebration it must be. Like at a Passover Seder when we spill the drops of wine from the full cup in commemoration of the misery and grief caused by the plagues, even as we celebrate the triumph of liberty.

Mr/ Worthington.
I have been following the story in Harper’s. Scott Horton has written what i consider to be very exemplary posts on the ongoing fiasco that is Guantanamo. The fact that our justice system and our honor have been so arrogantly circumvented by evil men and women in this administration is very clear. America’s dirty little secret of racism and bigotry was blown out of the water by the woeful response, or lack thereof, to the devastation of “Katrina”. This is just another face of the same issue. Thank you for your diligence in reporting on this complex, festering wound.
(This has also been covered by TPMmuckracker quite ably)
