McClatchy has started a series today on our 'War on Terror'.

McClatchy tracked down 66 men released from Guantanamo in the most systematic survey to date of prisoners held there. Many had no connection to terrorism, but their experience turned them against America.

For many of us, right from the beginning, this 'War on Terror' was seen as not the attempt to bring to justice those who commit 'Criminal Terror' but to increase the ranks of those labeled as 'Terrorists', while creating our own brand of Terror on others, creating a Perpetual War Fear to replace the old 'Cold War' Scare, praticing the failed policies of this countries power and wealth for more of the same, and going against All that we as a Nation are supposed to stand for, instead of a Worldwide Criminal investigation to bring justice for Criminal Terrorists Acts!

Some in the 'many of us' served and fought in the failed policies of the 'Cold War', Vietnam, the occupation of a small country over an Ideology called 'Communism', today 'Religious' Ideology is used!

The other day I posted this {link goes to my site}:

For more than six years, the United States has held hundreds of men at Guantanamo — "the worst of the worst," in the words of former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld. But the truth was different. McClatchy tracked down 66 men released from Guantanamo in the most systematic survey to date of prisoners held there. Many had no connection to terrorism, but their experience turned them against America.

The series begins:

Today: We got the wrong guys

Coming Monday: 'I guess you can call it torture'

Tuesday: A school for Jihad

Wednesday: 'Due process is legal mumbo-jumbo'

Thursday: 'You are the king of this prison'

America's prison for terrorists often held the wrong men

GARDEZ, Afghanistan — The militants crept up behind Mohammed Akhtiar as he squatted at the spigot to wash his hands before evening prayers at the Guantanamo Bay detention camp.

They shouted "Allahu Akbar" — God is great — as one of them hefted a metal mop squeezer into the air, slammed it into Akhtiar's head and sent thick streams of blood running down his face.

Akhtiar was among the more than 770 terrorism suspects imprisoned at the U.S. naval base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. They are the men the Bush administration described as "the worst of the worst."

There's a whole host of back links at the report site.

Reading this first once again pushes McClatchy to the top of the heap, in my thoughts, for real journalism being brought back, though they've been there pretty much all along with their professionalism and professionals!

We've passed any line there might have been to contain the Blowback from these failed policies, long ago!

But with real people working together we all may be able to minimize that Blowback, at least some, that the younger generations will be the recipients of!

This is Our Legacy us responsible adults are leaving, not a Better World nor a Better Existance than we have, as those before us worked hard for, but an extremely dangerous world of Hatreds in far too many!
