Based on what source? That is part of the problem.

We put them there anyway, and kept them there for YEARS, without a trial, or without even charging them with a crime.

Also part of the problem as I stated earlier.

So why would I believe anything the last administration said about what they were doing?

So what makes you trust the current one any more than the last?

All they have done, from day 1, is LIE to the Emrican people, and the rest of world. From the memos, it's clear we used torture, even while Bush was going on TV insisting that "we do not torture." My God, after Abu Ghraib, it is ASTOUNDING to me that so many people were still in denial about our actions with regards to torture. Bush has done more to ruin our standing in the world than everyone who ever went before him, combined. How will ever wipe that stain from our heritage?

Don't mix events that happened at Abu Ghraib with Gitmo. There is no evidence that anything close to what happened in Iraq took place in Gitmo. The rest ot that is your opinion taking right from the left-wingnut talking points.
