Here’s a decent point, correcting me:
In one of your postings today, you said “So we are left to ask whether to believe al Qaeda terrorists, trained to make such accusations, or American Pentagon officials.”
The people released from Guantanamo who have stated that the Qu’ran was abused are not al Qaeda terrorists. If they were, they would still be incarcerated.
In most cases, these people were deemed, after a long period of investigation and interrogation by the American military, to have been mistakenly swept up in a dragnet. Some were humanitarian workers. Some of them were simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. If there were any shred of evidence against them, they would not be free. At least I hope not. If they have been set free and are al Qaeda, where is the outrage and what is the rationale?
So, tell me again. Why can’t we believe these people?
Well, if they weren’t al Qaeda supporters before they got into Guantanamo, maybe they are now.
