...the American House of Representatives on Wednesday formally expressed its support for the detention of presumed terrorists on the Guantánamo base. An amendment to the proposed foreign affairs budget, adopted by 304 votes to 124 with two abstentions, emphasizes notably that "the detention and legal and humane interrogations of detainees by American (authorities) are essential to the defense of the United States and its coalition partners" united in the "war against terrorism."
"It is always beneficial to keep criminals off our streets," stressed Republican Dana Rohrabacher in support of his amendment, deeming that the prison camp at Guantánamo "does good work."
~It's too late anyway. There's nothing our leaders can do now to prevent the next terrorist attacks inside the US. Let Congress impress their racist constituents with tough talk and support of brutality. If American military bases on Saudi soil inspired the targeting of the World Trade Center, our invasion and occupation of Iraq has given the terrorists fuel for a century-worth of fires.
