Does that mean never forget that Bushco declared a "war on terrorism" by attacking a different country than the one which originated the attackers,
Are you talking about Iraq only, or including Afghanistan in that?
I agree that Iraq/Saddam had nothing to do with 9-11.
But Afghanistan had everything to do with it.

Maybe think of it as a war on "terrorists". Or a war against "militant Islamism" (or "militant Caliphism").

That's a good slogan, Never Forget
I don't think any law has been circumvented at Guantanamo. The laws against torture fully apply to Guantanamo. Any torture that occurs at Guantanamo is strictly illegal.
Simply detaining an unlawful combatant incommunicado is not a crime no matter where they are held.
