Diffing Guantanamo Bay SOP Manuals

Posted by Zonk on from the maybe-they-forgot-we-had-computers dept.

James Hardine writes "The Washington Post is reporting that Wikileaks has released another manual for Camp Delta, Guantanamo Bay together with the US military's rendition operations manual. This release follows from the Wikileaks release of the 2003 SOP Manual as discussed on Slashdot last month. Wikileaks compares the two manuals (2003, 2004) and reveals damning changes in official US detainee policy in exquisite detail. Who knew that diff could be such a powerful political weapon?"

    A few people still feel a little shock, and even fewer actually bother to do anything about it, while the rest of us twiddle our thumbs and either hope it'll all go away or think that "well, we've done nothing wrong, so we'll be fine."

    just keep voting democrat. that's the solution. they'll draw us out of this problem.

    oh wait...

    It's actually hard for me to tell if you actually believe that bullshit, or if it's somehow satire.

    And if you do believe it, maybe you should watch the Colbert Report anyway. I bet you wouldn't realize it's a joke.
