"BRITISH actress Vanessa Redgrave, who campaigns for prisoners at the US detention centre in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, today denounced alleged torture at the jail and demanded the repatriation of the inmates.

Ms. Redgrave was speaking in the town of Venissieux, France, home to two of the prisoners held at the centre.

"The health and detention conditions at the Guantanamo base are a genuine reason for urgency," she said in French after meeting relatives of the detainees, Mourad Benchelalli and Nizar Sassi..."

So she has been there and witnessed the alleged abuse firsthand?

On the other end of the spectrum...

The prisoners held at Guantanamo Bay are ENEMY COMBATANTS. They are prisoners of war, and have very few rights.

As enemy combatants they can face immediate military tribunal and if sentenced to death, be executed within 24 hours. This avenue would be retribution for the 9-11 attacks, and reduce the number of complaints Venessa Redgraves has.

Hah, that's true AP. Very good point.

She wouldn't last long protesting in the home countries of the terrorists.

"BRITISH actress Vanessa Redgrave"

Even the Brits and her own sister Lynn Redgrave don't listen to this nutbag. Vanessa has a reputation for being quite the hallucinating space cadet.

In the countries she defends, they have accomodating "hospitals" for her condition.

"How did these megalomaniacs ever get the idea that their fantasies reflected reality?"

Sadly these poor actor slobs were brain washed by their Hollywood puppet masters into believing they are the diety saviors of the world filled with epiphany after epiphany. BTW the word epiphany is their latest catch word, makes them feel intellectually superior to the unwashed masses, their public when they use BIG words.

Heh heh, you just gave me an idea and possible solution.

On second thought, throwing her in with them would be a real act of cruelty against the current occupants.

Maybe it's her fantasy, although a shrink might use the term "delusion."

Bingo! Of course! Hallucinations... timeline mid 60s, hanging out with mod hipsters, rock and roll bands, that's it! She is still tripping the lights fantastic, purple haze and all that rot, heh heh.

She went on a one way trip, yet she lived. I wonder if she sees pretty colors and wavy lines and stuff.

Yes, SunnySide. Redgrave viewing the emesis of her frothing mouth as an "epiphany" sounds about right.

Ronnie, again,

Thank you for serving over there and for sharing your personal photos. I had no idea you were in that particular battle. The movie depicting the action you and other brave men endured was heart wrenching.

God Bless.
