Innocence, real and imagined.

First installment of a series at The Guardian by Murat Kurnaz, a Turkish citizen born and raised in Germany, wrongly imprisoned for five years at Gitmo and released without apology or compensation. It's a harrowing tale, and should give every American pause when thinking about what our country has been up to in the name of securing the homeland. At the other end of the spectrum is Douglas Feith, one of those responsible for the disaster that is the war in Iraq. He claims that it was other people's fault - well, it is always is, isn't it? What is it about Neoconservatives and their inability to admit errors? More on this later...
