And remember, having a dog bark at them, or putting panties on their heads were considered torture -- all the while the terrorists are plotting to murder innocent people and REALLY torture anyone they capture.
The terrorists in Guantanamo had air conditioning, while our soldiers didn't, they are getting lemon chicken, the Koran, Agatha Christie books translated in Arabic, are allowed to play basketball -- and the liberals are still whining about torture.
Only 5 star hotels, $1 bail, full freedom and 10 lawyers per detinee will be acceptable in the future.
if this passes, Gitmo will close - what's the point, as you point out - its ridiculous to maintain it even now under these circumstances. the administration doesn't have the courage to start military tribunals there anyway - now with this law - the ACLU will be in there asking for discovery on every incident to file charges against US soldiers. what's the point of keeping it open.
Who is that Sheriff in Texas who puts the prisoners in tents without air conditioning and makes them wear pink clothes? Now that is my idea of what to do with prisoners.
