steve yawitzI may be a tree-hugging liberal but I agree with your implied distaste for cultural relativism, Jeff. However, I doubt that the proposed closure of Gitmo is being celebrated by or inducing snickering among Islamic fundamentalists. In fact, I think just the opposite could be true. By closing the facility, we remove a potent symbol: a Guantanamo detainee is probably much more valuable to the skilled propagandists of radical Islam than is an inmate unceremoniously housed in a Supermax facility. The time has come to shutter a facility that may very well have undermined our efforts to contain and hopefully quash such a warped worldview.
And to bring us back to cards...Will trade T206's for 1st edition Shepard Fairey "Hope" poster.
