A different justice for terrorists

I saw an article today about a prisoner who had died recently in Guantanamo prison, name undisclosed. It caused me to pause and reflect on the abomination that is this prison. At this prison people are held without charge for indeterminate amounts of time and can face torture while they are there. By providing them a convenient label such as "enemy combatant" and using euphemisms such as "waterboarding" and "interrogating" while torturing them, an attempt is made to justify these actions. Trials, when they do occur, are allowed outside of the regular court system as a result of the Military Commissions Act of 2006. This new justice system for so-called terrorists is not justice but rather an abomination. But one of the most revolting parts of it all is the attitude of "kill them all" and "let them rot" displayed by some of our citizenry toward terrorists (presumed terrorists, that is, because they have not even been charged with terrorism). Justice is getting thrown out with the bathwater.  -T.
