Own Goal

Decades from now, when the full history of America’s war on terror is written, there will be chapters reserved for the special stain of Guantanamo Bay.

No, it won’t be about the legacy of unlawful indefinite detention, the wrongful imprisonment of hundreds of innocents, or the men who killed themselves rather than face a future with no hope of release.

It’ll be about the fact that after ten years of wrestling with a problem of our making, we decided to build the prisoners who remain there a soccer field.

Good thing Fox News is there to keep us honest. Watch.
