Self Doubt

What I can't figure out is why the US government is holding these men at Gitmo, when it seems so clear to everyone else that these interrogators, these prison guards, defense dept. torturers, they don't know what they are doing?

Bush talks in press conferences about these "darn bad" men but they don't get any convictions, or useful information out of what the are doing to these men.

So it's just talk, and I don't know any one who buys it. But I'm sure somewhere there are people who believe it, and those people may not know anyone who disagrees with them either.

So why do they still believe they know what they are doing?
Why does there seem to be no self doubt?

Self doubt is worth its weight in gold.
