Assuming that the Washington Post story is correct, I am horrified by it and the thesis of "The Gitmo Girls," by Jed Babbin.

What worries me is not the moral implication of our relationship to the prisoners; it's the moral implication for the interrogators.

For a woman to use her body to buy information is prostitution. The military and our government should not be pimping, period. The president was re-elected partly on the premise that he would uphold Christian values.
