This is nothing but bad. The gulag is back and looking very American. Unlike BB, I trust my government where and when it has EARNED my trust. In the arena of "secret prisons" and "enemy combatants" I have no reason to believe my government is even marginally competent. With all the malfeasance surrounding the buying and selling of "prisoners", tribal grudges being settled by turning someone in as a "terrorist", it's a fools errand to think there isn't an unacceptable rate of incarcerated innocents. It's equally foolish to run rhetorical interference for this utterly unimaginative administration and its hopelessly inept, murderous, and ultimately self-defeating "war" on "terror". They haven't the logic on which to underpin any rhetoric. It's all hollow.
