OK, it's a gulagette. They all start somewhere.

My concern over this changed to outrage with the deaths, torture and mistreatment that has been reported and documented in American detention facilities.

You have no idea what I'm doing to support attempts to change the domestic American prison situation. But you know something? As unjust as it is to have non-violent offenders (I hesitate to even call them "criminals") locked up for stupid reasons, I bet they get prompt medical attention and can get in touch with their families, and that the guards aren't using electrodes on them or depriving them of sleep. This, too, is a matter of perspective.
