First we put our captives in a pressure cooker and then punish them when they succumb to the laws of physics. Disgusting methods. It's so desperately wrong to have treated men like this, men that have never harmed us, who may have even admired the United States and aspired to be part of what is best about us. Whatever we can do to restore the luster to their eyes, to make erect their posture, to help them regain and even surpass their own visions of themselves as men in a world that doesn't hate and scorn them, we must immediately do. Every single day that goes by in which we abandon them to their reduced spiritual circumstances contributes to the further erosion of any sense of confidence and possibility about how to go on enduring their lives in prison. And worse, it confounds their ability to envision themselves as free, upright, and desired members of any human society. The government of the United States must declare its intention to the men in a direct and completely unambiguous way. So that these men, beloved members of our human community, can begin to dream new dreams, dreams of wholeness and even heroism. Great.
