American shame: treatment of Guantanamo prisoners

The big question is why Bush has not ordered a full stop to this shaming of America.

The FBI has blown the whistle on the Defense Department's military investigators by accusing them of abusive treatment of prisoners of war in Iraq and Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The FBI was especially outraged that the interrogators of suspected terrorists had posed as FBI agents. Administration officials are usually pretty clubby folks who close ranks in times of trouble. But apparently, the FBI was not ready to take the fall for the Pentagon's atrocious treatment of some prisoners of war. The International Committee of the Red Cross has labeled the Pentagon's behavior as "tantamount to torture." The big question is why President Bush has tolerated inhumane treatment of detainees and why he has not ordered a full stop to this shaming of America.

He has to accept some of the blame for rejecting the Geneva Conventions on humane treatment of prisoners of war for so-called "enemy combatants" at Guantanamo Bay, site of a U.S. Navy base and the prison holding about 550 people from 40 different nations.
