Obama has released 6 more prisoners from Guantanamo, including one who has been left wheelchair-bound by cruel treatment.

The US government is still pushing to conceal videos of how he was tortured, claiming that knowledge of this would make people angry. They should have thought about this before they acted that way.

Republicans say publication of the CIA torture report could make people in the Middle East angry enough to commit violence. What a laugh! Lots of people there are already that angry at the US. They just assume the worst.

For the US to confess and take its punishment, then punish those responsible for torture, is the only way it can regain any moral authority.

136 prisoners remain in Guantanamo. The US owes each of them either a fair trial for some charges, or release.
