    The Cat is Already Out of the Bag

    This reminds me of Nixon's "secret" war in Cambodia. Who exactly was that a secret from? Certainly not the Cambodians.

    In the same way, it's no surprise to those on the receiving end of detainee abuse- and their families and communities generally- that these things occured. It seems clear to me that Obama's decision has mostly to do with domestic political considerations.

    I find that repugnant.
