Liberation, NOT Torture

The Daily Kos had an interesting article today. Kos addressed the logical fallacies in the administration and many Republicans' arguments over the detainment strategy and the ensuing torture in these cases:

Remember when torture was bad? And getting rid of it was good?

And let's not forget, "torture" was used as a rationale for this war -- as in, we'll invade and end the torture.

Of course, none of that has happened. The torture that was so bad under Saddam, is equally bad under U.S. command... And these cowards -- these people who will neither serve the cause they claim is so vital, nor urge others to serve it -- now rush to defend behavior that is indefensible?

Kos hit the nail on the head. What more can be said? Shut down Gitmo and open a new phase in the War On Terror!
