New Gitmo

Robert Greenwald of Brave New Films has anew series out called Rethink Afghanistan, about how we should...well...it should be obvious from the title. This part is about how it's really meaningless to make a big deal about closing Gitmo, when you still have its bigger equivalent up and running in Bagram.



I'm sure it does wonders for our "hearts and minds" campaign in Afghanistan. But hey, don't worry that detainee policy was turned over to political advisers, that White House counsel Greg Craig left over his belief that President Obama should actually abide by his campaign promises, or that the Pentagon's top official on detainees, Phil Carter, who was a fierce advocate for civil liberties and opposition to Bush detainee and detention policies, resigned over his belief that President Obama should actually abide by his campaign promises,we're closing Gitmo! Just not on the January 22nd deadline the Administration said it would....if at all. But hey, at least that asshole Bush isn't running things anymore. Am I right?
