This is how to CREATE terrorists.

Just like sending people to Gitmo that someone somewhere accused of being a terrorist... if they were not terrorists before being tortured in Gitmo, they certainly would be coming out of Gitmo.

In this case, if your father was a poor fisherman in Trinidad killed by the US Navy in a missile attack for being on a boat in international waters... or your brother or your son... The chances are you are going to blame Americans and want, let's see what is Donny Dufus's favorite word these days - oh yeah... RETRIBUTION. Especially since "justice" isn't going to be coming anytime soon.
