Justice And the Prison at GuantanamoBay
Letter-to-the-Editor

Re "No more excuses," editorial, May 22
President Bush chose to define the 9/11 attacks as "war," thus allowing people to be kept indefinitely and tortured. Enough of calling this a war. It is not a war. By that assigned definition those at Guantanamo and in secret prisons abroad will never be released.
Terrorism has a long history, and it will continue. Let us proceed against terrorists as alleged criminals in our justice system, but at the same time let us abide by our laws, by international laws and by the moral laws of common decency.
