Durbin Defends Guantanamo Comments

Good for Dick Durbin. I honestly cannot understand why people attacking this guy think it's ok for us to be known as the country whose prisons are bad, but not as bad as Soviet gulags, and not as bad as Nazi prisons. I'm pretty sure that's not the standard we should be looking for.

I also don't understand how anyone can think it's ok to hold anyone, no matter what they've done indefinitely without charging them with anything, and without giving them due process. That is so completely opposed to everything that I believe makes America the great country that it is. Do people arguing that this is ok honestly think that the government is perfect and does not make mistakes? Because if there is one innocent man in those prisons, without even the oppurtunity to demonstrate his innocence, then that sucks. It might not seem that bad in the grand scheme of things, but if it was you, I'm sure it would seem like the worst thing that ever happened.

And please spare me the tired "they do a lot worse" argument. I'll keep saying this as long as I hear that ridiculous argument, we don't want to just be better than the enemy, or we shouldn't, anyway. We should want to be right, absolutely right, not just less wrong than they are.
