How sweet, wonderful propaganda, mean while other innocents at Guantanamo experience the joys of anal rehydration and the Kafka esque life of indefinite impriso

  Well, to me, "the US government is keeping innocents in Guantanamo that could be fighting the Taliban and ISIS" doesn't sound like pro-government propaganda.

    Trotting out the token good case scenario while torture occurs in the bad case is classic propaganda, but way to defend torture, you get a hold star today.

    It is a much better story than: Former prison camp detainees join ISIS with renewed vigor (certainly the most likely scenario)

  So when the NYT maintains such a page, is it also part of their propaganda? http://projects.nytimes.com/guantanamo http://projects.nytimes.com/guantanamo And when Newsweek reported on a case that reflects negatively on the US, is it also propaganda? http://www.newsweek.com/morocco-delays-terrorism-trial-released-guantanamo-bay-detainee-390736 http://www.newsweek.com/morocco-delays-terrorism-trial-relea... Not to mention the controversial one it published in 2005: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2005_Quran_desecration_controversy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2005_Quran_desecration_controv...
