The unelected criminal George W. Bush enters the ranks of fiends like Slobodon Milosevic with his plans to turn Guantanamo into a death camp in which secret sham trials with hand-picked government lawyers will be followed shortly by summary executions.
The Bush Administration does not seem to think its charges against the people its wants to kill will stand up in a real court, and with its previous policy of covering up and obstructing investigations into 9/11, I wonder what secrets this administration has. It doesn't seem like George W. Bush's grandfather Prescott Bush was a banker to the Nazis for nothing. The Bush family's ties to Nazis is probably because the Bush family has a natural kinship for bloody-handed murderers, since that's what they are themselves, Bush himself being the most prolific death warrant signer in recent American history.
No great writer, Bush's pen practically flies when signing death warrants, so I suppose it's no surprise America's bloodthirsty Executioner-in-Chief has a hard-on for the idea of a death camp of his own, free of piddling concerns like actually having to prove people guilty of crimes before slaughtering them by the hundred.
Of course, there was one case where Bush showed clemency, the case of his seeming soul-mate, the most prolific of American serial killers, Henry Lee Lucas. In an almost unbelievable coincidence, it was Jeb Bush's Florida which could not manage to execute Lucas' co-killer Ottis Toole. While probably meaningless, it bookends Dubya's death camp dreams.
