Ted Rall: 'The Normalization of Horror"

As Congress prepared to rubberstamp the nomination of torture aficionado Alberto Gonzales as the nation's chief prosecutor, the Washington Post broke news that would have torn a saner nation apart. The Bush Administration, the paper reported January 2, is no longer planning to keep hundreds of Muslim prisoners currently rotting away in U.S. concentration camps at Guantanamo, Abu Ghraib and Bagram merely 'indefinitely.' The Defense Department and CIA are now planning 'a more permanent approach for potentially lifetime detentions' for these innocents.

We're locking them up forever. Without due process.
