Guantanamo to get new victims
In a White House speech George Bush said yesterday:
"We're now approaching the five-year anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, and the families of those murdered that day have waited patiently for justice. Some of the families are with us today. They should have to wait no longer.
"So I'm announcing today that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, Abu Zubaydah, Ramzi bin al-Shibh, and 11 other terrorists in CIA custody have been transferred to the United States Naval Base at Guantanamo Bay. (Applause.)"
My question is, were Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, Abu Zubaydah, Ramzi bin al-Shibh, and the 11 others in some way responsible for 9/11? Or is Bush obfuscating again?
Also, are we to feel relieved that these people are now to endure the hell of Guantanamo?

This a good point. The president denied that the US was operating any prisoners camps oversears. Several officials did, too. So where were these detainees, I'd like to know. And who was operating these camps? We are a country of human rights and values; that's why our troops are fighting in godforsaken places. We don't torture!
