I wish it ain´t so, but the US gets bashed for Gitmo, and as long as this camp exists, the US will be seen as of the same level like Russia or China.

the US gets bashed for Gitmo

I guess the next question is: by what criteria? What are then values behind statements like the Universal Declaration of Human Rights or the Geneva Conventions? What the the assumptions underneath modern notion of human dignity universally understood in Europe? Are they true or just a spur of romanticism-humanism? These are good questions, and I understand this will sound as outrageous as questioning 1+1=2 to European ears, but truth is truth, and they demand answers first before we can get to judge if Gitmo is moral.
