Re: Swept under the rug
On the whole, Guantanamo is one of the most humane prisons on this planet. The Red Cross has had access there since the beginning of 2002.
The entire controversy during the Bush years was political. When it ceased to be useful as a political weapon (when Obama won the election) the issue vanished. Like a number of others.
For example, when was the last anti-war protest you read about?
I found one in this article written by a poor confused person who is just beginning to work out that the whole point of these activist groups for all those years wasn't being against the war, it was being against Bush.
