The tried and convicted war criminal and torturer
believed he could detain and torture human beings outside the law at
Guantanamo, but the American flag flies over the base and our colors are
raised and lowered each day at Guantanamo.
Wherever
our flag flies our laws and values are applicable and any human being
held on that soil would have to be accorded humane treatment, respectful of human dignity (presumed innocent until proven guilty), and speedy due
process of law in accordance with our Constitution, our laws, treaties, and our values represented by our flag - any other treatment would be un-American and should be denounced by the president and congress.
