Look, I know there’s no guarantee of them going anywhere–indeed almost the opposite while W has veto power–but seeing legislation in both the House and Senate to close Guantanamo still makes me happy.
It’s about time someone stood up and said of Gitmo that it is “plainly inconsistent with America’s proud legal traditions; it has become a stinging symbol of our tarnished standing abroad” .
What would make me even happier would be if someone would stand up and say that “that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights” means all men and not just “all American citizens not specifically excluded by the President”.
