So the US is now “encouraging martyrdom” to avoid facing “challenges”
because “the reliability of those [Gitmo detainees’] statements would be
challenged, making trials difficult and drawing new political pressure over
detainee treatment”, even if the process lacks “international credibility.”
So, let’s just let them plead guilty and kill them. They become martyrs, we
don’t have to confront our own war crimes, and nobody has to figure out what
to do with them. Fabulous … This way, we can just put the whole thing to bed
without learning the truth, the same way we were able to promptly execute Saddam
Hussein who was thus conveniently silenced regarding his long history of being
supported, armed and facilitated by the US.
