A Deadly Kindness

A DEADLY KINDNESS

AT GITMO, PC RULES LET QAEDAS PLOT ON

By RICHARD MINITER

September 15, 2006 -- GUANTANAMO BAY, CUBA

ON the military plane back from America's most fa mous terrorist holding pen, the in-flight film was "V for Vendetta," a screed that tries to justify terrorism. It was a fitting end to a surreal, military-sponsored trip. The Pentagon seemed to be hoping to disarm its critics by showing them how well it cares for captured terrorists. The trip was more alarming than disarming. I spent several hours with Rear Adm. Harry B. Harris Jr., who heads the joint task force that houses and interrogates the detainees. (The military isn't allowed to call them "prisoners.")

(snip)

America has never faced an enemy who has so ruthlessly broken all of the rules of war - yet never has an enemy been treated so well.

Of Gitmo's several camps, military records show that the one with the most lenient rules is the one with the most incidents and vice versa. There is a lesson in this: We should worry less about detainee safety and more about our own.

Some 20 current detainees have direct personal knowledge of the 9/11 attacks and nearly everyone of the current 440 say they would honored to attack America again. Let's take them at their word.

If we lose the war on terror, it will be because we defeated ourselves.

No: We didnt defeat ourselves. We allowed the pacifists, the bleeding hearts, the cowards to defeat us. Political Correctness has no place in a war.

Agreed. How is this any different than the pattern we saw displayed on "The Path to 9/11 ?". I know, we went after them, but still we are hampered by administrators and lawyers, all of whom were processed through our finest "re-education camps" (our once great university system).

This is the wrong time to seek approval from the world community. Better they fear us. Respect and approval will follow.

People who oppose the GWOT, who want Guantanamo closed, who think we can rationalize and negotiate with these Muslim murderers simply have no clue about the concentrated evil that is being warehoused in Guantanmo. The prisoners at Abu Ghraib said it best when control was handed over to the Iraqis aand the screaming started - they wanted to come with the US - where clueless Americans think torture consists of wearing panties on your head and standing naked on a box.

These are not simply misunderstood yutes who need love, a bath and a good meal. These are people so soulless, so dead inside, so lacking in morals, ethics or human compassion that they would eat your food, take your generosity and think nothing of cutting your head off with a dull knife. These aren't humans - they are the very definition of dark, deeply rooted evil - evil on a level that most of us can't begin to fathom.

And this is the evil that the Democrats want to have legal rights in American courts; want to be treated as though there were any semblance of a salvagable human being. This is the idiocy of Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Teddy Chappaquiddick, John F'n Kerry, etc., etc., etc. This is the evil that could be walking American streets on bail looking for their next big attack while waiting for their trial in an American court to begin if the Democrats win back control of the Congress. If the Dems win control, America loses - BIG TIME!!!!!

AMEN!

It is really terrifying to me to see how the enemy within is working to get us all killed. Especially those wannabe presidents, traitors McCain/Lindsay and Warner. Anyone that would marry Elizabeth Taylor has got to have a screw loose.

Well said, but too many Republicans also have the PC disease. We are so hampering our war fighters that soldiers are afraid to shoot without consulting an attorney in advance and interrogators cannot gain intelligence without risk of being charged with a war crime.

They are the same sorts of people who think that pedophiles can be rehabilitated.

"No: We didnt defeat ourselves. We allowed the pacifists, the bleeding hearts, the cowards to defeat us. Political Correctness has no place in a war."

Political correctness has no place in a growing society. It is a regressive policy that punishes progress.

Adm. Harris admitted to me that a multi-cell al Qaeda network has developed in the camp.

Thanks for posting this. The cancer spreads wherever planted. American politicians are clueless.

Case in point: Do not kill people in a cemetery.

Why are the Gitmo folk apparently the only ones in the world utterly immune to Stockholm Syndrome?

I've mentioned this before, in another thread -- read Melanie Phillips' Londonistan. It's even worse in Britain, but I think we're closing the gap fast.

I'll break it down further... mclame, warner, graham and collins are all personally responsible if we lose. EVERY DROP OF AMERICAN BLOOD SPILLED IS ON THEIR HEADS! They are taking away every tool we have to beat these fascists.

colostomy powell is also just as guilty. He is a butt kissing, backstabbing, traitorous punk. dims are also responsible (and pure evil in their agenda), but they sold their souls to satan long ago and are only acting out as to what is in their true nature.

What you have just written bears constant repeating. The only way to refer to these humanoid things is "subhumans." To call them any type of animal, including snakes, is to demean the animal. They should be treated as the vilest pestilential vermin, interrogated fully to extract all available information, and unceremoniously killed. After being killed, they should get enemas of pig s**t, and they should be buried in the same substance with their shoes on, feet facing Mecca.

Call it excessive compassion by a nation devoted to therapy, but it's dangerous. Adm. Harris admitted to me that a multi-cell al Qaeda network has developed in the camp. Military intelligence can't yet identify their leaders, but notes that they have cells for monitoring the movements and identities of guards and doctors, cells dedicated to training, others for making weapons and so on.

Do they also have an escape tunnel with an entrance underneath a doghouse?

This sounds like a new Al Jazeera comedy Achmed's Heroes

"Achmed! No one escapes from Gitmo 13!" - and why would they want to with their 4200 calorie a day diet.

Maybe we want them so fat they can't run. Next we will have the fast food type lawsuit - we are endangering them by feeding them a high calorie diet.
