McClatchy today began a series on Guantanamo, based on interviews with more than 60 prisoners who had been held there. Their conclusion: many of the administration-described "worst of the worst" are simply people who were in the wrong place at the wrong time, sold to the U.S. government by tribal enemies or unfriendly neighbors.

Sadly, I am no longer surprised at anything this lawless administration does. But as someone who earned my living as a journalist for nearly 45 years, I can still be shocked and saddened by the decline and fall of a once-mighty national resource.
