This is possibly the worst story ever written. It says detaining a prisoner is like putting him in a holding cell while the harsh realilty is the prisoner is held and tortured forever. We did "detain" Japanese-Americans whether citizens or not. Not our finest hour, but we did not torture them and they were released when the war ended. The author is groping and appears ridiculous in his efforts.

An attempt to defend the continued detentions at Guantanamo, arguing from the perspective that we are involved in a conventional "war" against a conventional enemy, as opposed to a method.

This opinion piece identifies the case of support for detention of those deemed dangerous. It does not however address the impartiality of those who adjuge; and it blatantly overlooks the despicable conditions into which detainees are forced, while convicted corporate white collar criminals are incarcerated in relative splendor.

This is an opinion piece, not reporting. It shouldn't have to be informative, fair, or accurate. It is certainly none of those things. Instead, it is an awkward, poorly reasoned, and dishonest justification for why the US is not complying with the Geneva Convention, or American law.
