One of those rare moments these days where something on the Internet made me laugh out loud:
At least the English know not to do something like Guantanamo Bay. They tried that 220 years ago, and created Australia.
Gotcha! But:
No fair - the ones sent to Australia were already charged, tried, convicted, and sentenced; and at least they were still in the Commonwealth & subject to British/colonial law & legal process.
Only barbarians would ship their alleged criminals to some overseas outpost then claim they had no recourse to the laws of the country...
Oh. OK, the laws in 18th C England were brutal and unfair to our eyes, but at least there was some semblance of a trial.
