Alleged evildoers in the custody of the American government in Cuba and elsewhere, wherever that may be, are likely to be abused, in not tortured, by their jailers but the abuse of non-citizens doesn't seem to stop there. The Washington Post carries a story re a US government report about the abuse of illegal immigrants in detention centres and jails throughout the country. The Department of Homeland Security said that the report, which was months late, a problem DHS officials blamed on the scope of the inquiry being reduced (???), showed no pattern of mistreatment but critics called the report a whitewash which overlooked the most grievous ill treatment. Judy Rabinovitz, an ACLU lawyer said: "It took two years for them to come out with this? It's incredibly disappointing."
