Red Cross on GITMO

This is interesting... in the NYT today:

A senior official of the International Committee of the Red Cross said on Thursday that the holding of more than 600 detainees here was unacceptable because they were being held for open-ended terms without proper legal process.

Mr. Girod's comments departed from the usual reluctance of the International Red Cross to issue public criticism.

Under longstanding procedures, the committee agrees that in exchange for access it will not generally publicize its findings but rather take complaints or criticisms to the government in charge in the hope that they can be addressed. Only when the Red Cross decides that its views are not being heeded does it publicize its concerns.

This, more than anything, graphically shows what is happening to our country - to our constitution - under the neocon influence. GITMO is an absolute abomination.

And yet, as you'll hear over and over again from so many: "Where is the outrage?"
