Al-Harith said he was kept mostly in a wire cage and given food marked "10 to 12 years beyond their usable date,"

10-12 years beyond their usable date? Yeh, right! And we had the WoT just so we could capture a bunch of prisoners and force them to eat up all the outdates MRE's.

This old food story is totally laughable. Military supply geeks are absolute about getting rid of food that is past the use date. You can walk into any Marine or Air Force warehouse, and everything is managed by a computer system. They know precisely when the expiration date is and they will use or sell the food by that point. I've seen MREs near their expiration date at various commissaries in my life...sold for half price because they were within 30 days of their date.

This Al-Harth character is a joker. I'm betting that he is right back at a Saudi-financed mosque in the UK...getting fed more propaganda from their religious cleric. But I'll also bet that 25 million Europeans absolutely believe his story without any doubt.

This guy is mistaken. He wasn't in Gitmo, he was in our public school system enjoying the subsidized lunch program.

Ummm, actually, that part is totally believable. After all, the Geneva convention requires the Army to feed them exactly the same stuff they feed our troops...and I remember eating rations marked 1950....

In 1981...

He should have known that it's the dog food that the democRATs say we and Bush are feeding the elderly and running the handicapped in wheel chairs over a cliff!!!
