The U.S. military hid the locations of suspected terrorist detainees and concealed harsh treatment to avoid the scrutiny of the International Committee of the Red Cross, according to documents that a Senate committee released Tuesday.

If we're going to continue to use "War on Terror" we have lost. The point of such "quaint" things like the Constitution and Geneva Conventions are to give concrete examples of what we stand for as opposed to sinking into barbarism.

The current administration has failed at every level, and this news, and the approval of these policies at the highest levels of American government, is a disgrace.
