Bullshit. This is entirely a partisan issue. Everyone who hates us for Abu G already hated us for Iraq, and for Afghanistan, and probably for France. No minds were changed; all that happened was a new label was provided. In the grand scheme of things, this is a talking point for one party, and nothing more. The day we as a nation adopt the morals of the Abu G guards, call me. Until then, this is a small group of people given too much discretion who fucked up badly.

And that new label is torturers? Nice.
You keep dismissing this as a small thing, no big deal. I see this as a very serious issue, though not a political one necessarily. One way to remove any hint of partisanship from this would be for the party in power to demand a full investigation and accounting of this sordid mess. Is it so hard to do the right thing when you control all three branches of government?
