But he said yesterday he did not resent his captors and Camp Delta was not as bad as rural Afghanistan.

Sorry, pal. Let's assume that for every 100 former Gitmo detainees who have fallen in love with America, there's only one who wants to come here to blow something up. That's still too many. Maybe instead you can try to make Afghanistan a little bit more like America.

Guantanamo A Good Time?

Another young Afghan boy is saying that -- contrary to complaints from Human Rights Watch -- he had a wonderful time as a detainee in Guantanamo Bay. Fourteen-year-old Asad-ullah, who spent 14 months there, says -- "I am lucky I went ... and now I miss it. ... Americans are great people."

Asad-ullah, now back at home in the eastern Logar Province, says he spent his days watching movies, playing football, and going to class -- where he was fascinated by lessons on the solar system. As for his future, he tells London's Guardian -- "I would like to be a doctor, an engineer, ... or an American soldier."

Yep, the reality of the situation today is that we have no idea whether this guy wants to come here to visit, or to reconnoiter targets for AQ.
