JOHN MCCAIN SPEAKING OUT AGAINST SUPREME COURT DECISION FOR PRISONERS IN GUANTANAMO

RESPONSE TO A COLUMN IN THE NYT

McCain is a disgrace.

You might think that a man with his history would be more sensitive in these matters, but, no, he displays the same obtuseness he did when he joked about waterboarding or when he joked about bombing Iran or, for that matter, when he was releasing bombs on the heads of civilians around Hanoi.

Guantanamo is a moral and ethical affront to the rest of the planet.

No tyrant has practices much worse than America's efforts in Guantanamo, in Abu Ghraib, and in the CIA's International Torture Gulag.

Nothing a small group of terrorists did justifies America's wholesale disregard for human rights, democratic values, and international treaties.

America has nothing, absolutely nothing to teach the rest of the world in these matters.

That is likely why you use B-52s for your lessons.
