The people in the Soviet gulag were imprisoned for political "offenses". Those in Guantanamo are war criminals and terrorists, i.e., wrongdoers, so this is a false equivalency.

Exactly. Everyone at Amnesia International should read THIS.

not to mention that Amnesty International and many members of the liberal press ignored the plight of the Soviet Gulag prisoners or even covered it up AND the Soviets killed tens of millions of people

the prisoners in Gitmo get halal meals, a Koran and a prayer mat, exercise time, top notch medical care, etc....

you were lucky if you ate at all in a Soviet Gulag, please

people have to stop throwing around the wrong terminology merely to get attention to their pathetic cause

or as someone on talk radio noted - what is AI saying about the Cuban gulags just down the road, eh?
