Also part of the problem as I stated earlier.

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

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.

Actually Merc, with the release of the report by the Red Cross and the torture memos, there most certainly IS evidence proving what they did. There are also videotapes of interrogations, or were. I believe it was reported that some of them were erased. Now why would they erase them if they had nothing to hide?

It has been reported for years that many of the people being held were not terrorists, but people who were swept up and held anyway, and never released based on nothing. I tend to believe investigative reporters. They deserve our respect, because they break stories that we would otherwise never know. I tend to believe the Red Cross, because they get access to places as long as they keep silent. Only someone seemed to think that report was more important, and they released it. Whoever that was deserves some kind of world recognition for what they did.

Lastly, I trust this administration more because I believe I can. So far Obama has been pretty good about keeping campaign promises and keeping his word. I NEVER felt like I could trust Bush, because he was too secretive and sneaky. He lied about things. He was a cowboy executing cowboy justice. He was arrogant. Obama is none of those things. I am extremely pissed off that they are refusing to prosecute anyone, because I think lots of people should be prosecuted, but that doesn't mean we can't trust him. In the end, I think he will have to prosecute some people. when that day comes, I will cheer from the rooftops.
