This is why I am 100% against anything less than national sovereignty. It's not "imperialism" or "fascism"...it's common sense. The nations of the EU have been around a lot longer than us, true...Why does anyone think so many of their people braved oceanic crossings, language barriers, and financial risks to re-root themselves here? If one of our own does something worthy of censure...we have the means to prosecute; we don't need a country who has changed its type of government and form of head of state like so many socks over the last two and half centuries to judge us.

I wonder how many Gitmo Allumni helped plan the attacks in Paris last year. And of course their must have been a media blackout of the candlelight vigil the Gitmo Prisoners held for he victims of the attack.

PS - At latest count there don't appear to have been any "Gitmo Alumni" involved in the planning of the Paris attacks.

CPT (Join to see) Thanks much for posting this information on the issue: This is the person who first implemented GWBs enhanced interrogation methods at GITMO and was then later transferred to Iraq to institute the same program over there. He was the source of the 'order' to 'set the conditions' for interrogation i.e., to soften up the prisoners so they would be easier for the CIA and their contractors to interrogate. He was the direct link between the administration policy approval and the actions in the field. It would be interesting to know who gave him the briefing on his assignment, LtGen Sanchez probably(IMO) did not even know what was going on. The MPs at Abu Ghraib were thrown under the bus for their initiatives in 'softening up' the prisoners. The good general maintained he never ordered anyone to mistreat the prisoners although he was directly contradicted by people on the ground in the MP Bn. TMK he was never charged in the US for his role. Maybe some foreign gvts may yet figure a way to hold him accountable based on such as Geneva Conventions etc.

Capt Tom Brown - Captain; You do actual interrogators a disservice when you refer to the CIA personnel as "interrogators" since they had no training in successful interrogation techniques and the entire CIA program was devised by a person who had no actual experience in interrogation or interrogation techniques at all.

COL Ted Mc - Thanks for the insights. I, and probably no one else, is surprised to hear this.
