I thought Rumsfeld cooked up some "torture" where he'd have a detainee tied to a chair while some scantly dressed female soldier read the book to him.

I concur- C. S. Lewis would be a superb choice for them to read. Let them start out with the Screwtape Letters...
Sometimes I just can't grasp the irony of the way they seem to revel in our culture...and despise us all at once.

When this story gets out there will probably be more riots in Afghanistan.

Hope they keep a copy. That's all the toilet paper they will have when they get sent back to the Kabul Hyatt.

God, I wish I had Hermione to help me get through school.

I think that they may be more apt to sympathize with Harry and think that we are Voldemort.

No! There are limits, even for Islamic terrorist scum.

I think the master plan is to take them up to the current book and then get on the loudspeaker and reveal the big secret. "Oh, did you want to read that for yourselves? Sorry!"

Always thought it'd be "Malfoy" ended up in Guantanamo.

Maybe the "torture" backfired. Sounds as if they might have developed a taste for HP that way! They surely weren't reading those books (or any others except for the Q'uran) in their previous lives.

I'd support either shipping a few Dementors down to gitmo, or shipping the whole lot of them to Azkaban.
