The Schmidt Report

An anaylsis of the just released report detailing the treatment of prisoners at Gitmo. Whether one calls it torture or just "abusive and degrading" as the report does the treatment of prisoners is horrific.

Specific guidelines for how we are to be treating prisoners must be established and examined in the public light. Most of the prisoners at Gitmo are terrorists, but some are not. Judicial hearings for all prisoners must happen in a timely manor. I harbor no sympathy for any members of al-Qaeda or other terrorist organizations, but those who are innocent should be given an opportunity for release.
