To be a good guy you have to be good more often than bad. To be a bad guy one has to be bad more often than good.

The US is still a good guy by this definition.

Unfortunately, since good and bad are relative propositions one can never be all good or all bad - one will find that yesterday's good is tomorrow's evil and vice versa.

When the US starts to descend into the predominantly bad category, I will gladly join you on your soap box for increased reform and self-policing. But for now, under tough circumstances, the tough decisions are being made.

Is justice being served? Is humanity being served?

Time will tell. While "near-luxury" may not describe the detainment facilities - they are certainly not as bad off as some of our own prison inmates.
