"They doused guards with whatever liquid was handy — from spit to urine. Sometimes they struck their jailers, one swinging a steel chair at a military police officer.
The MP tried to spray water from a hose in response, but the detainee blocked it with a mat.
The guard who tried to spray the detainee was charged with assault, given a reduction in rank to private first class, which was suspended, and reassigned to other duties at Guantanamo.
Some prisoners at the U.S. base in eastern Cuba have gone on the attack, as in April 2003 when a detainee got out of his cell during a search for contraband food and knocked out a guard's tooth with a punch to the mouth and bit him before he was subdued by MPs.
"
Those damn terrorists should be glad that I'm not guarding their sorry asses.
"The soldier who struck the inmate, and was dropped in rank to private first class as a result, described it as a close call. "
WHISKEY.
TANGO.
FOXTROT.
WOW...Lots of Nazi stuff here for Turban Durbin!
Oh great the AP can have a field day with this to help the poor prisoners.
All guards are to merely stand like robots and take whatever abuse is directed at them. Afterall - that is what they are for - to provide a stress release for the prisoners since they are prevented from their normal activity of killing Americans.
The least we can do is provide them a guard to torture from time to time along with their Qu'ran, their prayer mats, their tasty food, their comforts.
I suggest the guards receive hazardous duty pay dividends for time worked with the terrorists.
I cant believe these guys get punished for giving these terrorists much better treatment than they deserve.
These terrorists deserve to be treated in a way that makes them very fearful of any guard or person of authority. Whatever it takes to get to that point...pliers, wire,..chainsaw....Under the Geneva Convention they are illegal combatants..no uniform, not country of origin. They could and should be shot on sight. Treat them as they treat our uniformed military and captured civilians. Thank you very much DEMOCRATS!! For continuing to destroy this country.
Oh, the humanity!
A thread yesterday, or earlier today, described an Al Quaeda manual which had very recently been found, instructing captured insurgents how to lie, obstruct, or do whatever else they had to do, once detained.
One wonders if we are getting any real information from interrogating them. I am content that we continue to hold them despite international criticism for doing so, but I hate the announcements that we have started to release some of them. The same report if I am not mistaken indicated some of those released have already been recaptured a second time while fighting our troops.
Damn.
Dearest Senator Dirtbag (rat-I),
Is this Nazi deathcamp treatment of prisoners? Or Gulug labor camp normal operations? I thought so.
Another really pissed off Illinois soldier.
There is just so much that a person can take and spitting, throwing urine and hitting taxes the patience:
If they spit, gag them and tie their hands;
If they throw urine: Catheter them: and
if they hit, HIT THEM BACK!
These animals have been given a lot more than they deserve...another option: if they act up: Take away their Korans.
My government is begining To really PISS me off!
Hey, all the more reason to give them lawyers and get them out of there, right? Ask Senator Durbin.
Screw the prisoners. They are lucky they weren't shot or blown into little fragments. And they are living under better conditions at Gitmo than they were in Afghanistan.
We are never going to win the "War on Terror" as long as this kind of namby-pamby BS is allowed to go on.
I've heard worse stories out of chicago area jailers. Way worse.
The Gitmo brethren shot down a Chinook full of Rangers and SEALS in Afghanistan this week.
We have a SF unit missing, the BBC reported that some may have been captured by the terrorists.
I am waiting for Durbin, Kennedy, Biden, Pelosi, Boxer, Bill and Hillary Clinton, Maxine Waters, Sheila Jackson Lee, the rest of the Democrats and Chuck Hagel to show as much concern for our dead and possibly captured soldiers, as thay have for the Taliban in Gitmo ,who may have had their lemon chicken overcooked.
