It was European critics who claimed that Guantanamo Bay prisoners were innocent and now there are concerns? The US has helped Europe throughout the 20th century dig itself out of "holes" it dug itself into and now when we ask for a little help all there is is either silence or more criticism. It seems Europeans are good at feel good protesting and finger pointing but when it comes to actually doing good which may actually require so sacrifice then the silence is deafening. This seems to be the old and new European way. I believe the US should re-evaluate it's European relationship. It seem a bit one-sided to me.
