Deliberately Conflate Issues

Senator Jon Kyl, Republican from Arizona, cleared something up for me on one of the Sunday morning policy wonk programs. He clarified that no torture or water boarding ever occurred at the Guantanamo Bay Detention Center. This fact has been deliberately obscured by the left to make Gitmo appear sinister. This facility should be considered a national asset, where military police, shore patrol personnel, military medical staff, and civilian contractors have confined and contained some of the most dangerous people in the world. The US staff has treated these terrorists with dignity-providing culturally appropriate food, opportunity for Muslim religious practice with prayer rugs and Korans, comprehensive medical care often better than American citizens receive, and access to counsel. The terrorists are being granted rights never before accorded to people fighting without uniforms, hiding in the civilian populace, and often engaged in wanton murder that in most of the world they would face summary execution for, if captured. The US has provided decent living circumstances for people who by right should have ended up with a bullet in the head. It is a shame that the international left and mass media which is in their thrall have done everything they could to confuse the world about America's measured efforts at self-defense.
