New York Times conservative columnist David Brooks on the PBS NewsHour, talking about the need for a truly independent investigation of the Guantanamo prison camp:
This is not only a war against individual terrorists. This is clearly a war for public opinion in the world, and especially in the Muslim world. And there’s no question that what’s happening — or at least the issue of Guantanamo — is a defeat, a daily defeat, for the United States.
And somehow that defeat has to be dealt with. And, to me, having an independent commission that will take a look at whether the Navy’s doing a good job or the investigators down there are doing a good job — that just seems to be necessary.
