GITMO: More BushCo. Lies

"The worst of a very bad lot," VP Dick "The Dick" Cheney has called them. We've been told that they are not necessarily subject to the Geneva Conventions or the Conventions on Torture because 1) they are not on US territory (absolutely specious) and 2) because they are a fount of actionable intelligence that could prevent more attacks on US soil.

In light of every other deception from this maladministration, it shouldn't be surprising, but it was:

But as the Supreme Court prepares to rule on the legal status of the 595 men imprisoned here, an examination by The New York Times has found that government and military officials have repeatedly exaggerated both the danger the detainees posed and the intelligence they have provided.

In interviews, dozens of high-level military, intelligence and law-enforcement officials in the United States, Europe and the Middle East said that contrary to the repeated assertions of senior administration officials, none of the detainees at the United States Naval Base at Guantánamo Bay ranked as leaders or senior operatives of Al Qaeda. They said only a relative handful — some put the number at about a dozen, others more than two dozen — were sworn Qaeda members or other militants able to elucidate the organization's inner workings.

Haven't we had enough of the constant deceptions of these bastards? Where are the calls from Congress for impeachment? How do we fire these idiots?
