Reuters reports: “Former President Bill Clinton has said the United States should either ‘close down or clean up’ the Guantanamo Bay prison for foreign terrorism suspects.

In an interview with the Financial Times published on Monday, Clinton said American or British troops would be at much greater risk if they had a reputation for abusing people.”

Exactly.

“Well, it either needs to be closed down or cleaned up,” Clinton said when asked whether the camp on Cuba should close.

“It’s time that there are no more stories coming out of there about people being abused.”

“If we get a reputation for abusing people, it puts our own soldiers much more at risk,” Clinton said.

Indeed. No more “stories.” Words create stories, stories create reputation, and reputation creates myth.

Bill Clinton is making our point. He just doesn’t know it.
