"Does Gitmo take credit cards? I could use a two-week
workout at a camp in the Carribean, with chicken and rice for dinner, and daily religious services. . ."
Funny. I was thinking of going to an adult soccer camp to get into shape. Maybe Gitmo is the answer.

Ann makes a great point. If the scenes from Abu Ghraib were acted out on the New York stage, Frank Rich would be raving about how sexually liberating the performance was.
Come to think about it, has there ever not been a modern dance act that looked like a "Lucky Pierre" Frank Rich's behind? He likes to be at the center of things, painful though it may be at Times.

DC Chapter FReeps Senator Durbin's Democrat Fundraiser & Debates Congresswoman
DC Chapter ^ | June 23, 2005 | BillF

FReepers from the DC Chapter conducted a FReep of Senator Richard Durbin at a Democrat fundraiser on June 21. DNC Chair Howard Dean, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi of California, and Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada were among those in attendance in addition to Senate Minority Assistant Leader Durbin of Illinois.
(Here is the announcement thread for the FReep.)
The honor roll of those in attendance as shown on below photo (L-R): BufordP, Jimmy Valentine's brother, 3-D Joy, kristinn, and (off-camera, taking the photo) BillF.
We set up our protest on the sidewalk about 15 feet away from the entrance door where the Dems had to wait in line to get in. Most of the Dem officials went into another door around the corner from our location.
The theme of the DNC fundraiser was "Paint the Nation Blue" and the people waiting in line certainly seemed blue. Of course, they may have been blue because of our presence. Possibly it was kristinn telling them to turn their backs on Durbin or maybe it was BufordP telling them "If you think American troops are Nazis, you can go to the front of the line."

I think I remember when you said that here once.
I disagree. The "Golden Rule" of the War on Terror is, "Kill others as they would kill us, only do it first."
Anything else - Geneva Conventions, Constitutional Rights for terrorist combatants - is pissing in the wind.
I suspect that the real rationale behind the ACLU and liberal congress critters harping for the detainees' rights to a fair trial is motivated by what always motivates lawyers: Free publicity and attorney fees. Their advocacy for closing down Gitmo means to me that they want them moved to stateside to give the lawyers easier access.
I could be wrong, but I don't think so.
Cool! I got a fan in Ann :-)
A question I have been asking anyone that will listen. I've wondered about this for thirty years at least.
The chicken is orange-glazed, not lemon!
The chicken is orange-glazed, not lemon!From the Washington Times:
...During a speech Monday at the National Press Club, Cheney said: "Those most urgently advocating we shut down Gitmo probably don't agree with our policies anyway."He added that the prisoners at Guantanamo are "treated far better than they could expect to be treated by virtually any other government on Earth."
That seemed to be the party line Monday. California Republican Duncan Hunter held a press conference to discuss the treatment of detainees at the island jail, and spent his opening statement going over a daily menu for prisoners that included oven-fried chicken and fresh fruit.
"This is what Osama bin Laden's bodyguards will eat several times a week. Lemon chicken, rice, broccoli, carrots, bread and two types of fruit," Hunter said, inviting a reporter to come eat with him...
...Cheney's remarks were echoed in a news conference on Capitol Hill later in the day by Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif., who is one of the Pentagon's most committed allies. Hunter appeared with prison menus and two plates of food, one of lemon chicken and one of fish, which he said were examples of the meals served to inmates at Guantanamo.Mohamed al-Kahtani, who was believed to be the planned 20th hijacker in the Sept. 11 terror plot, is being held at Guantanamo, and Hunter said that he is eating well and given the materials he needs to practice Islam.
"The guy who wanted to drive that plane into the building at the World Trade Center is going to dine tomorrow on lemon fish with two types of vegetables, two types of fruit, and then he will be afforded his taxpayer-funded Quran, taxpayer-funded prayer beads and oil so he can pray, presumably to kill more Americans," Hunter said.
...Appearing on Fox News Sunday, the House Armed Services Committee chairman began by detailing tonight's dinner menu at Gitmo - which all detainees, including one suspected of being involved in the 9/11 plot, will enjoy. "For Sunday they're going to be having Orange Glazed Chicken, Fresh Fruit Roupee, Steamed Peas and Mushrooms, Rice Pilaf - we treat them very well," he told Fox.
Last night, Hunter said, the U.S. "torture victims" enjoyed the same kind of gourmet fare, including an entree of "Lemon-baked Fish."
