Never Again...Please

I don't want to start celebrating too early, but I think this is cause for some premature rejoicing. And it's a great post for this blogs 100th post.
CNN reports that Guantanamo Bay detention center for supposed terrorists (many of whom are innocent of those charges) is close to being shut down.

I never want to see my country support this kind of madness again. And this is only the beginning. Close down the secret CIA prisons, stop the kidnapping of brown people under false premises, and let us write into law that this must not happen ever ever again.
Today, for just a bit, I am going to quash my pessimism and allow myself to be cautiously optimistic.
