What’s more wrong than “indefinite detention”? Get back to me. I’ll wait. Indefinitely.
January 23rd, 2010
“The
Obama administration
has decided to continue to imprison
without trials nearly 50 detainees at the Guantánamo
Bay military prison in Cuba because a high-level task force has
concluded that they are too difficult to prosecute
but too dangerous to release, an
administration official said
on Thursday.”
“Too difficult
to prosecute” means we tortured them,
and trying them will bring that into the light in a big
way, and be an embarassment, and likely result in having
to discard evidence, and possibly result in acquittals.
And we can’t accept that because we, as always,
are right. And “doing shit because you
can” means “you are immoral
and wrong”.
Cowardice
asks the question, ‘Is it safe?’
Expedience asks the question, ‘Is it politic?’
Vanity asks the question, ‘Is it popular?’
But conscience asks the question,
‘Is it right?’
