Gitmo: a shameful part of our nation's history

Over at Mahablog, Barbara informs about a new piece in this month's Harper's magazine by Eliza Griswold. Rather than excerpt it here, I encourage you to click over and read it over at Maha's place.

The piece entitled "American Gulag: Prisoner's Tales from the War on Terror" cites information taken from those once held at Guantanamo Bay, their attorneys and their family members.

Apparently the article is not yet available online. But the details are shocking and if true, are perhaps among the worst things ever done by an American government.

The details are seriously horrible. Its a reminder that its incumbent upon us as Americans to take charge of our government and demand oversight.

More importantly, we must demand accountability.
