Bill Clinton today called for either the closing or reforming of Gitmo. To his credit, he managed to do so without using the word gulag, or referring to Pol Pot or Stalin, which makes him a unique animal indeed in today's Democartic Party.
Still, there is much in this debate that is going unsaid, which was summarized today by Neal Boortz.
Put Clinton on the growing list of people who think that Caribbean temperatures and loud rap music constitute torture. Funny how nobody has mentioned that it's hotter in Iraq right now ... but about 20 degrees ... and the music is much worse. Perhaps if Bill Clinton had done his job as president there would never have been a 9/11, a war in Afghanistan, a war in Iraq and Guantanamo would just be a Navy base. One thing for absolute drop-dead certain. If Guantanamo were to be closed tomorrow, by Thursday the world's anti-American media and their Democratic fellow travelers in this country would have some other outrage to press. God forbid the media should spend any time reporting on what's going well in Iraq.
Reporting on the good news in Iraq has apparently become the defatco job of the blogosphere, most notably from the milblogs. Isn't it sad that ordinary soldiers, who have far more important things to do, have to take time simply to report on progress because the media is so uninterested?
