Torture update from Gitmo
 
Quote:
A former member of the Guantanamo Bay prosecution team says the prison is not the concentration camp that the mainstream media portrays.

Major Kyndra Rotunda writes in her new book "Honor Bound" that Guantanamo detainees get more privileges than many Americans in U.S. prisons. She says one detainee was offered his freedom but responded by saying, "No thanks. The weather will be nicer in my country next spring. I'll wait until then." And, Australian Taliban member David Hicks demanded -- and got -- an $800 Brooks Brothers suit to wear in court, paid for by U.S. taxpayers.

Rotunda writes that detainees live in open bays, eat meals together on picnic tables and serve themselves food from large pots. She adds some have a choice of soccer fields and basketball courts and are offered a selection of basketball shoes upon request.

Yeah, I'm sure the prisoners are loving it. A real paradise for them.

Hard to swallow for you isn't it, that one guy wanted to stay there until next spring because the weather would be nicer. PS. You paid for that $800 suit. Do you have an $800 suit, Mike?

And the truth shall set you free.

That you believe this is a prison paradise says a lot about you.

(and it's good, ExTex).

I don't know about "paradise," but regardless, it's clearly you who can't handle the facts. Sorry to shatter your mythical view of Gitmo.

It certainly doesn't sound like a Medieval dungeon.

How does one take a family there? They serve themselves food out of pots? Forget Maui, I'll go with Gitmo.

Seriiously, who here believes the current conditions at Gitmo don't have something to do with the laser beam of scrutiny it's received? Have prisoners there always struggled with whether to play basketball or soccer?

Please... Fox News viewers may be unable to see a whitewash, but I can.

Mike, the prosecuting attorney said it isn't bad. What more do you need? Statements from the interrogators too?

Indy Coug 06-13-2008 02:12 PM
Mike's on the verge of a psychotic break. Physician, heal thyself!
