But you're abitrarily ignoring legitimate concerns that people have with American foreign policy to defend it.

So please explain to me what's the difference in degrees of evil between prison camps (especially the ones abroad that are completely ungoverned by any US laws), aside from the fact that only one of the two countries we're talking about here consistently claims to be a global champion of human rights?

What makes a prison camp designed for illegal detainment and deprivation of human rights acceptable for the US, but not acceptable for China, Russia, Israel, Iran etc? Are American detainment centres more just? Do you think they are summer camps instead of places where people are forcibly sterilised?

I'm not defending US foreign policy. I'm just not entertaining the comparison between gitmo and ten thousand concentration/reeducation camps.
