A Good Reason to Close Gitmo


Here is a surprising insight from sort of a surprising source.  Christopher Hitchens has a unique perspective on a really good reason to close the Guantanamo prison: It’s a state-run Madrasah!

From the story: The officers in charge were so pleased by this ability to show off their extreme broad-mindedness in respect of Islam that they looked almost hurt when I asked how they justified the use of taxpayers’ money to create an institution dedicated to the fervent practice of the most extreme version of just one religion. To the huge list of reasons to close down Guantanamo, add this: It’s a state-sponsored madrasah.
