it was surprising that Time actually mentioned the above, in addition to the innundos about prisoner mistreatment. As MSM articles go, it's relatively fair.

But a piece of relevant info left out of this article:

"Hood's inquiry identified 15 incidents in which detainees mishandled the Koran. These involved using it as a pillow, ripping pages from it, attempting to flush it down a toilet, and urinating on it, SOUTHCOM officials said. "

Koran Inquiry Reveals Pattern of 'Respectful Handling'

The detainees are probably thinking up new "secrets" to reveal so they can stay on at Camp Gitmo, which is a much better place than home. Three squares, cleanliness, fun, games, sunshine, balmy breezes--why would they want to crawl back into their desert hellholes?

Agatha Christie in Arabic

Oh, the humanity! Could be worse, I suspose. Has P.G. Wodehouse been translated into Arabic? Or Farsie?

The best-behaved detainees are held in Camp 4,

What, no furloughs?

a medium-security, communal-living environment with as many as 10 beds in a room;

What, no individual suites?

prisoners can play soccer or volleyball outside up to nine hours a day,

What, and get skin cancer?

eat meals together

What, no meals in bed?

and read Agatha Christie mysteries in Arabic.

What, shoving dead white person literature down their throats?

/sarcasm

Life in the Gulag goes on. Given the rhetoric of AI, how is anyone, besides the liberals, supposed to take them seriously?

Well, playing volleyball was torture in "Meet the Parents". But that's MY KIND of torture! Muahahahah! Let me play some volleyball with these guys! I'd enjoy that immensely! Might give me a heart attack, but it would be a fun way to go! "Spike-em!"

read Agatha Christie mysteries in Arabic.

Let me guess: The favorite is "Murder in Mesopotamia?"
