Why We Need Torture?

The above video was put out by the Republican party, ostensibly to make us support what's going on in Guantanamo. In the video they identify three dangerous people currently housed there as a reason why we shouldn't close it down.

This is a classic example of specious reasoning, but let's examine it a bit shall we? What the video leaves out is that dozens of the detainees in Gitmo have no charges pending against them. It also omits the fact that out of those prisoners that have died in U.S. custody, over two dozen have been classified as homicides by the Army.

And, of course, closing Guantanamo by no means forces us to let those three people go. I hate to call it too early, but is an ad this desperate hinting at the complete irrelevance of Republican war-mongering? Well, we can hope...
