We did go there after 9-11, we just outsourced the actual camps to other countries.
What do you think the Maher Arar case was about? And that was just the tip of the iceberg. As a nation we have decided that lawlessness and torture are alright if they are inflicted on suspected terrorists. The continued public silence on this issue does not speak well of the moral qualities of the average american.
We didn't go there in a way that's analogous to the camps from the 40s.
