Mark Steyn, writing in the Chicago Sun-Times:
"Even they cannot dismiss the practices at Guantanamo as the actions of a few bad people," (Vermont Senator Pat Leahy) continued. "Before they just did it quietly, and against the law, on their own say-so, but now they are obtaining license to engage in additional harsh techniques that the rest of the world will see as abusive, as cruel, as degrading and even as torture."A Quran in every cell. Abusive, cruel, degrading, indeed.
. . .
it surely requires a perverse genius to have made the first terrorist detention camp to offer homemade Ramadan pastries a byword for horror and brutality. If I had to summon up Gitmo in a single image, it would be the brand-new Qurans in each unoccupied cell.
