I'd like to see how the results of this poll line up on DZ.com

This is easier to do if you make it a "poll."

Yes, and thankfully we are finally starting to admit it. From Forbes:

------------------------
US acknowledges torture at Guantanamo; in Iraq, Afghanistan

GENEVA - Washington has, for the first time, acknowledged to the United Nations that prisoners have been tortured at US detention centres in Guantanamo Bay, as well as Afghanistan and Iraq, a UN source said.

The acknowledgement was made in a report submitted to the UN Committee against Torture, said a member of the ten-person panel, speaking on on condition of anonymity.

'They are no longer trying to duck this and have respected their obligation to inform the UN,' the Committee member said.

I'm glad to see this, because once we admit that we have a problem we can fix it. For too long we've been saying "Oh, it's just a few bad apples" "it's just some soldiers blowing off steam." We're the USA. We shouldn't torture people; that's for people like Saddam Hussein. I'm glad to see that we are finally taking the steps we need to take to stop it.

AI admitted on Fox News Sunday that they had no evidence but it was thier strong opinion of wrong doing. Dam, don't we need evidence or are we still at "It is the seriousness of the charge" that counts.

if we falter and lose our freedoms,
it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

An admission from the US government isn't evidence? By those standards, not even Clinton did anything wrong!

Club Gitmo, a nice place to relax and get a much needed rest from Jihad. Club Gitmo is setting new standards in comfort for the weary terrorist. If only other prisoners had it so good.
