Friedman's not alone in wanting to close down GITMO

In this article where Egypt's Foreign Minister urged that Koran desecraters be held accountable (he didn't seem at all concerned with the more numerous incidents of detainee desecration to the book) - there was a troubling call from Biden:

Also Sunday, Sen. Joseph Biden (news, bio, voting

propaganda tool that exists for recruiting of terrorists around the world."

Hmm, I thought liberating Iraqis was the biggest propoganda tool for recruiting terrorist. I just don't get this urge to appease anti-American sentiment in the Muslim world.
