Close Guantánamo - Open a facility for human rights !

The New York Review of Books: No Exit: here a one-paragraph excerpt of the excellent article to be found under the link above.
"The argument that putative combatants—would-be combatants who have merely been trained as well as those picked up in the vicinity of a battlefield—can be held in wartime until the end of hostilities isn't in itself novel or controversial. What's new in the current conflict, as it pertains to al-Qaeda and those detainees who are alleged to be its followers, is that no one can imagine the armistice or surrender that would signify an end to this war. In these circumstances, or so it now seems, indefinite could prove to be synonymous with endless; in effect, it could signify a life sentence. This would be a far cry from the preventive detention imagined as appropriate in a conventional war by the authors of the Geneva Conventions, which were intended as a rulebook ensuring humane treatment on all sides of those imprisoned for the specific purpose of keeping them out of military action. What has been at issue are the questions of whether the United States has legally been in a state of war since September 19, 2001, when Congress authorized the use of military force against those responsible for the attacks a week earlier, and if it has been, where that war begins and ends."

Imagine a world in which we make efforts to convince all that the best way for all to enjoy and have control over their lives is to be allowed to express themselves freely without control of third parties and to be guaranteed trial when accusations of violations of others' rights are raised against them before they may be denied their own!
That would be a world outside the playpen, outside fundamentalism, free of terror.
