[Blood of Tyrants]

Instead, what we have is a dozen or so unfathomably mindless idiots, abusing their power in a war zone by engaging in revolting – but it must be said – largely harmless humiliation of Iraqi prisoners, who are probably secretly thanking their lucky stars they haven’t received the punishment they deserve.

And also thanking their lucky stars that they aren't in a prison run by Saddam.

Factiod: The average prisoner released from GITMO weighs 20 lbs more than when he entered the prison. His teeth have been fixed, he has been deloused and dewormed (perhaps for the first time in his miserable life). He has received medical care that he could only dream of in whatever backwater he came from. He has been inoculated against diseases that take out perhaps a third of the population in Afghanistan before they reach their 5th birthday.

And the liberals whine because they don't have access to lawyers.
