This administration has disgraced our country beyond comprehension, all in our name and their heir McCain is considering adding Mr. "Double Guantanamo" to his ticket. At the very least, he'll be a bigwig in his administration.

It's not something decent people and lawmakers who claim to support freedom and human rights allow or disallow based on partisanship or media friendliness.

This should have been fought at the outset by both parties.

I'm not in here to proclaim the innocence of those who did or do what this medical panel says was done. I don't wish to give the impression that I believe conservatives can do no wrong. Like everyone, I and they are human, too, and can really mess things up.

But where this starts to unravel for me is that the doctors/medical professionals have nothing against which to compare the prisoners' present condition. The information the detainees gave is, we should realize, is likely to be somewhat tainted against our country and, especially, their jailors. This makes the examinations speculative. Were the detainees tortured? We don't actually know, but it is likely some were. To what degree, we don't know for certain.

However, the blanket condemnation of the Bush Administration over this issue is troubling at best and outright disengenuous otherwise.

Saying the Bush Administration (or as some have put it, the Bu$h Admini$tration) is responsible for this is akin to saying that those on the Clinton White House staff were likewise involved in the Clinton-Lewinsky business.

It seems odd to me that the world heard rarely a liberal voice when those American military women were raped and beaten and psychologically tortured by their Iraqi captors; that the liberal protests were hardly anywhere to be heard when Daniel Pearl was viciously beheaded and the whole act videotaped and posted on the Internet for the world to see; that liberals were, for the most part, silent when those engineers/contractors were tortured, beaten, cut apart and their bodies tied to a main thoroughfare bridge some years back; that unspeakable atrocities have occurred in the name of a "religion of peace"; that no liberal politician has spoken out against Muslim leader as-Sadr's "gracious" extension of a cease fire order (since when is it right for a religious person, regardless of sect, to call for, approve, and promote the death of anyone they perceive as an infidel/unbeliever?).

I think it's fair to say that I don't agree with how some of Guantanamo's detainees are treated. I also think it's fair to say that throwing feces, semen, and other body fluids on their captors exhibits the utter hatred they have for Americans and particularly the American military.

Much of the liberal viewpoint and their methods have been copied from the communist party line. Is communism dead? Hardly. It's alive and being practiced in the USA. It's new name: liberalism.
