UK releases all Gitmo returnees

A lawyer for one of the released men said his client "has been treated in a cruel, inhumane and degrading manner" at Guantanamo Bay.

"He has been detained as an innocent for a period of two years. ... He wants the authorities to answer for that," lawyer Robert Lizar said."

Probably ought to remember this stuff the next time the US gets on it's "Human Rights" high horse. We don't have the moral high ground any more.

In fact, we're in the moral morass, quagmire if you will.

Sad to see a great country, a shining example to the world, learn and apply the lessons of the worst of the world. We might be able to lecture Uganda. Really give 'em hell in Uganda for their human rights stuff. Though they have ratified more UN treaties and conventions regarding HR than the US.

"Well, it's what THEY do!" Seems to be the excuse.

Well, then don't say you're better!!
