I agree with what you're saying. I hope you don't let me down. I hate being wrong. LOL

oh and I forgot to mention, Gitmo isn't even a gulag by any stretch of the imagination, it's a detention camp...

when I see photos of Ahmed cracking rocks with a mallet for 12 hours a day and he's emaciated, call me.......

I clicked on the AI link you provided and found this:
"The so-called 'war on terror' appeared more effective in eroding the international framework of human rights principles than in countering the threat of international 'terrorism'."
Terrorism, quote-unquote? "Eroding the international framework of human rights principles"?
The AI has been overrun by proIslamists and Leftwing loons.

Just for fun here is an official dictionary definition of a gulag

gulag
noun

A network of political prisons or labour camps that formerly existed in the Soviet Union;
1b. One of these prisons or camps;
1c. The government department responsible for their administration.

Etymology: 1940s: Russian acronym, from glavnoe upravlenie ispravitelno-trudovykh lagerei main administration for corrective labour camps, made familiar by the writer A Solzhenitsyn (born 1918) in The Gulag Archipelago.

thank you for telling it like it is.....

you've done a great job expressing yourself, I said it, that comparing Gitmo to these Gulags is an insult to those who are truly suffering in real gulags......

Oops, my bad. I should have said no moral person could say 'my country right or wrong' with a straight face. It is possible to be intelligent and immoral - sociopaths do it all the time. Sounds like you're proud to be one. Good for you.

in China and North Korea to mention just two countries, who live in real gulags and who would find Gitmo to be a Caribbean resort in comparison.

I read on one thread here that the guards at Gitmo also have to be on watch for Cubans trying to break in!

I call 'em like I see 'em. And why are you talking to me like the Big Lebowski?
