It is a sad day for human rights when a program that has killed over 4,000 people around the world without due process can only conjure serious opposition domestically when we perceive a threat to American lives. It’s a sad day for human rights when Guantanamo remains open with 166 people still detained, and no one in our government taking steps to close it. It’s an abomination of justice to watch 11 years of military commissions bumble their way to nowhere except to profound embarrassment.
