In January 2002, the Supreme Court of Bosnia ordered the release of six men suspected of collaborating with Al Queda. American peace-keeping forces were waiting for them, seized all six and transported them to Guantánamo where they languished for six years.
One prisoner, Lakhdar Boumediene, successfully challenged his confinement in the U.S. Supreme Court.
Digby picks up the story from there:
That is what we did to innocent people. Maybe most Americans don't think we should play the blame game, but I'm not sure people around the world will be satisfied that we have actually stopped acting like animals based solely on our promise to stop being animals.
