Cruel and unusual punishment. This is ridiculous and makes me feel ashamed to be an American.

  And Guantanamo didn't?

    It's not a contest.

      I think icegreentea might be wondering why there is outrage now, when this sort of thing has been going on for really a long time. eg. A fellow Australian (David Hicks) was held for years at Guantanamo without charge or trial. Rightly or wrongly, it feels like: no one cared then, why care now?

        No one cared then? Exactly the same people cared then as now. I'm pretty sure that if you page through Glenn Greenwald's blog you will find more than a few instances of outrage over the treatment of military prisoners (including Hicks specifically.)

        I was outraged then and I'm outraged now. Do I seriously need to reference all the other things that disgust me whenever I say something disgusts me? Nonsense.
