Moe Davis talks to the Dog

THIS IS THE VERY LAST QUESTION AND ANSWER AND AFTER READING THIS I HOPE YOU WILL CLICK HERE AND GO TO THE ARTICLE AND READ THE WHOLE AMAZING INTERVIEW:


The Talking DogAs we come to a point in time ten years after the opening of Guantanamo Bay for military detentions of persons captured in Afghanistan and elsewhere, is there anything else I should have asked you but didn't, or anything else you believe that the public needs to know about this?

Morris Davis: One thing comes to mind. We chose Guantanamo a decade ago because some people thought that it was outside the reach of law. And now, we have 171 men stuck in a legal Alice in Wonderland. And so we continue to make bad laws, like the NDAA and the "reformed again and again military commissions” -- to continue to try to deal with men we are holding because we took short-cuts and made bad decisions years ago. My hope is that common sense prevails and we can look rationally at the big picture, and we stop trying to make even more bad laws rooted in our prior bad decisions. I hope at some point we remember who we are and what we stand for, we reckon with what we did in the past, and we stop living our lives in fear. I hope we become free and brave again.
The Talking DogI join all my readers in thanking Col. Morris Davis for that eye-opening interview.
