The U.S. general who opened the Guantanamo detention camp said Thursday it was a mistake and should be shut down because "it validates every negative perception of the United States."
"In retrospect, the entire detention and interrogation strategy was wrong," Marine Major General Michael Lehnert wrote in a column published in the Detroit Free Press.
Lehnert, now retired from the military and living in Michigan, was the first commander of the task force that opened the detention camp in January 2002 at the Guantanamo Bay U.S. Naval Base in Cuba.
He said the United States opened it "because we were legitimately angry and frightened" by the Sept. 11 hijacked plane attacks in 2001 and thought the captives sent there would provide "a treasure trove of information and intelligence."
He quickly became convinced that most of them never should have been sent there because they had little intelligence value and there was insufficient evidence linking them to war crimes, he wrote.
"We squandered the goodwill of the world after we were attacked by our actions in Guantanamo, both in terms of detention and torture," Lehnert wrote. "Our decision to keep Guantanamo open has helped our enemies because it validates every negative perception of the United States."
But the Repugs absolutely block Obama from shutting down gitmo, and right-wingers then trash Obama as LIAR for failing to keep his promise to shut down gitmo.
You're deluded, boutons. Obama doesn't have the guts to close Gitmo and neither do the Dems. If they had, they'd have tried to close it in 2009, but the Dems were loudly against it.

Dems in 2009 wanted to see the the logistics of closing and where the poor mofos would end up. Every Repug Senator voted against.Quote:

what if you wanna be "just friends" with gitmo?
ACA had all the Dems' support, while closing gitmo (without full logistics clarified) didn't.Quote:

Seriously, do you always scour the bowels of the political forum?
Why does he use the search function and bump topics to give recent posts more context?''Quote:
