Guantanamo is not the problem, it's the treatment of the prisoners

In a bizarre effort to hide the crime by changing its locale, the Bush administration is talking about seeking legislation to allow it to create new gulags on American soil where it can keep the prisoners now in Guantanamo and continue to torture and abuse them so it can close down the Guantanamo gulag.

WASHINGTON, July 2 — Seeking a legal path to shutting down the Guantánamo detention facility, senior advisers to President Bush are exploring whether the White House and Congress can agree to legislation that would permit the long-term detention of foreign terrorism suspects on American soil, Pentagon and administration officials say.

I guess they think they can get some Democrats to buy into this. Jeese, if any do (hint, hint, wink, wink, Menendez & Lautenberg), they deserve to be cut down at the next election. It's not the name Guantanamo that's the problem. It's how the prisoners are denied their rights that's the problem.
