Frankly, I'm very disappointed in the German government. The mere existence of Guatanamo is a slap in the face of all the principles that determine a constitutional state. I hate all instances in which a government descends to the same level as terrorists - something both the Israeli government has done by its "liquidations" of Hamas leaders as well as the US who, after 9-11, feel it is their right to deny the most basic of human rights to selected groups of people. They may be terrorists or not - that is for a UN tribunal to decide. It is definitely no reason to fight with the same dirty weapons as they do! A properly elected government should be above that. Oh, wait, George W. Bush and his entourage weren't properly elected. Me bad.

I'd love to know how high the death toll is among the prisoners in Guatanamo Bay. If this isn't a war crime, I don't know what is.

And the wonderful Human Rights Commission is evidently just a bunch of hypocrites... what do they think? Let the prisoners stay there under God knows what conditions for one more year, and perhaps until then, the problem will magically have solved itself? Ostrich symbolism, anyone?
