I wonder if the Bushies realize that even trying to distinguish between G-mo and Stalin Era gulags is a sign that Osama has, indeed, won the "war". The America I grew up in and loved was a tolerant beacon of freedom, settling for nothing less than the highest standards of justice and due process for itself and others. Since the Towers fell, our leaders seem to have forgotten those aspirations, aiming instead for Brezhnevian authoritarianism at home, while developing electoral-based kleptocracies abroad. We should be better than that.
