Debate, and discuss, just dont Bore me.
Or a swank spot?

We have heard all the diatribes by the international bleeding hearts about how Guantanamo is so terrible and we are violating the prisoners basic humanity by such torturous activities as force feeding them and not allowing them to kill themselves and infidels.  Amnesty International has been rife with propaganda on it, as has most of the democrat leadership.  Yet no specifics have ever been proved, and most allegations so outrageous as to be the creation of warped and bitter minds.

But now comes an eye witness.  One who has seen it from the inside:

Abdul Hakim Bukhary, from Saudi Arabia, denied joining al-Qaida but said he met bin Laden 14 or 15 years ago while fighting a jihad against Russian forces in Afghanistan. He traveled to Afghanistan to participate in jihad against the United States after Sept. 11, 2001, but was jailed by the Taliban before he could fight any Americans. The Taliban suspected him of being a spy after he said he liked Ahmed Shah Massood. After the United States invaded, he was sent to Guantanamo, where he said conditions were much improved. "Prisoners here are in paradise. American people are very good. Really. They give us three meals. Fruit juice and everything!" Still, he said, he wanted to be freed and returned to his family.

Hmmm, they are in paradise?  Well not exactly, he does want to go home.  But still, he does not appear to be suffering from the hands of torturers who think that 24x7 Nirvana is within the Geneva Convention!

But alas, while no proof has ever been forthcoming of the alleged atrocities at Club Gitmo, this eyewitness account will be dismissed as a stooge who was forced to state that to avoid flaming bamboo shoots under the fingernails.  It is always easier to believe your own self deceptions, than any hard evidence that might be forthcoming.

So, basically he's saying that if the U.S. would "round up" his family and send them all to Club Gitmo, then it truly would be paradise. ;~D

You got that impression as well, eh?  Well, Club Gitmo is not large enough, but perhaps if we freed most of the cuban people and allowed them to move to Miami, we could annex more of Cuba, and bring more families over.  ya think that might work?

I don't think there are 'atrocities', but I think they do stuff that wouldn't fly in civil prisons. I doubt very seriously it would be a paradise to anyone, but you can bet your ass it is a lot better than our people would fare in the hellhole prisons in nations where these people come from.

I just can't imagine how naive you'd have to be to deal with this as most have. We're the great satan, but they're SHOCKED we might actually be mean to people we imprison. I'm a US citizen without much bias against my government and *I* just assumed these people would "disappear" and be quietly sqeezed for intelligence at some unknown location.

The fact that we kept these people out in the open to me is bizarre. I bet we won't from now on.

Paradise is an interesting word.

I remember the "EPW Prisons" during Desert Storm. They were nothing more that a few GP Medium tents in the middle of the desert. There were no air conditioners, flush toilets, mattresses, televisoins, or much of anything else. What was there? Shelter from the sun, two hot meals and an MRE lunch, showers, "field latrines" and drinking water. There really wasn't even much in the way of barbed wire.

The press had absolutely no problem with such facilities back then, but today does anyone wonder what terrible images they would conjure up in the minds of those thirsting for dirt to dig up on our troops (so they can blame our President).

They had no complaints from the Iraqi conscripts turned prisoner. In fact those conditions were head and shoulders above how Hussein's regime was treating their conscript "reserve units". In fact, other than a few bored MPs, a joke of a circle of concertine wire and miles and miles of unforgiving desert, there wasn't anythign keeping them there.

At one of them one of the MPs was showing how friendly these EPWs were to western culture.

He stood between the two "prison" tents... When he held up his left hand, the Iraqis on in the left tent would yell something resembling "Tastes Great"

When he held up this right, the others would yell "Less Filling" ;~D

I disagree.  For all the flack we have gotten, there is no "there there".  So in time, they and all will realize, you cross the line, and we will put your ass on ice.  But we wont make mince meat out of you either.

That is the lesson being learned.  And even the ones who run home and complain, secretly speak the truth.

I wonder if they knew it was about alcohol?
