ACK! Oh wait ...
As Greenwald notes today, along with both Keith and Rachel last night, we are getting scare tactics involving someone released by Bush from Gitmo. Oh no! (1) The nature of Gitmo makes it harder to keep us safe in various ways, including probably serving as yeast for terrorism. (2) You cannot keep all the bad guys away. The alternative is keeping loads of innocent people in or those treated horribly etc. Which is counterproductive too. And, simply unjust.
