"The Horror of the Bush Years," says Atrios at his famous blog "Eschaton," "No matter how bad you imagine it to be, it's even worse."
Then he links to this Harper's article by Scott Horton detailing the confession of former Gitmo guard Brandon Neely, who regrets his role in this shameful chapter of American history, and is highly motivated to tell all.
Conservatives are making fun of Obama for taking a year to close this monument to the illegal, immoral, and inexcusable behavior of a criminal regime. However, it's safe to assume that even though the scene of the crime remains open, the torture now has stopped. This by itself is reason enough to celebrate the election of Obama and the eclipse of Republicanism, for it's a sign that the republic is being restored to sanity.
Bush and Cheney, with their "America does not torture" are low-life, lying scumbags, and Brandon Neely has borne witness to the state of their perjured and condemned souls.

Someone said in 3000 years, Bush and Cheney might be heroes. I hope not, but it is possible. Bush is counting on the obscuring effect of time passage to make him famous like Napoleon.
