Guantanamo Bay?

Question

Do yo think this 'place' is an affront to the 'moral decency' that the US is trying to inflict upon the majority of average human beings in the world (not the 'World' that most Americans refer to), but the real 'World' that the rest of us live in?

Answer 1

No doubt about it! US reputation around the world is in complete ruins. The world torments and laughs when Bush uses the words US & Human rights in the same sentence. Now it's emerged that Abu Gharib abuse was sanctioned right from the top, to make matters worse even Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice was in those meetings.

The greatest draw back is world standing of US, what happens if the same thing is repeated against US, on what moral ground would US seek condemnation!

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent which will reach to himself.
