Missing the Forest...

MV has a good summary of the Gitmo story. Most of the recent coverage of the U.S. prison at Guantanimo Bay, Cuba, has revolved around Amnesty International's recent charactarization of the prison as "the gulag of our times." Quilly has eviscerated Amnesty USA's boss, William Schulz, for the comparison. Schulz has begun to back off while Amnesty's Deputy Secretary-General, out of London, defended the charge.

Meanwhile, while the talking heads debate semantics, Senator Joe Biden seems to be the only one who gets the the big picture:

Biden did not agree with [Amnesty's] description, but said the facility was doing the United States more harm than good.

"The bottom line is I think more Americans are in jeopardy as a consequence of the perception that exists worldwide with its existence than if there were no Gitmo," Biden stated.

Well, duh.
