History always remembers the facts of injustices, cruelty and barbarity but not it's mitigating forces. So we remember the French Penal Colony, Devils Island not because of it's violent necessity but the injustices, cruelty and barbarity of it's operation.
So the Intellectual-Liberalism of our reactionary Republican-Conservatism/Tea Partyism cousins despite it's stimulus of the base and idealistic among us, is nothing less than another pathetic example of what is short sighted and counter intuitive within us.
The operation of GITMO by the United States and it's organized violence will have as it's historical legacy: The injustices, cruelty and barbarity critique.
