NEVER LET THE BEHIGN TRUTH GET IN THE WAY OF THE MALIGNANT ANTI-AMERICAN FICTION:

AG Holder says closing Guantanamo won't be easy (DEVLIN BARRETT, 2/25/09, Associated Press)

Holder said his visit to the site was instructive. He met with military officials and toured the facilities, including the court setting where military commissions were to be held until Obama suspended them.

He said he did not witness any rough treatment of detainees, and in fact found the military staff and leadership performing admirably.

"I did not witness any mistreatment of prisoners. I think, to the contrary, what I saw was a very conscious attempt by these guards to conduct themselves in an appropriate way," he said.

The attorney general said none of those impressions alters the administration's goal of closing Guantanamo by January 2010.

I'm starting to doubt that George W. Bush was a crypto-fascist.
