The Good Life At Gitmo
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.")
Harris, a distinguished Navy veteran who was born in Japan and educated at Annapolis and Harvard, is a serious man trying to do a politically impossible job. I spoke with him at length, and with a dozen other officers and guards, and visited three different detention blocks.
The high-minded critics who complain about torture are wrong. We are far too soft on these guys - and, as a result, aren't getting the valuable intelligence we need to save American lives.
The politically correct regulations are unbelievable. Detainees are entitled to a full eight hours sleep and can't be woken up for interrogations. They enjoy three meals and five prayers per day, without interruption. They are entitled to a minimum of two hours of outdoor recreation per day.

Sorry for the early ping but I got to rush
Sorry was working off an old ping list. I all most forgot you two!
Always in a hurry. Stop and smell the dandelions.
Rush should be interesting today...hope he's not too cranky about the Steelers.
There's been so much varied news over the past couple days his show should be hot. I'm glad I'll have a relaxing day at home for a change so I can drink it all in.
Slurp!
Leni
I'll be listening. He has an awful lot to talk about. It'll be interesting.
Hey all!
I love the smell of ping in the morning.
I guess that's better than the smell of Clinton in the morning!
Thanks Johnnie...Good morning. I am really looking forward to Rush today.
Thanks for the ping. Rush should be a hoot today.
With the Steelers losing again, Rush might be a bit off.
Thanks for the ping! Work/lurk mode on.
Hello, Johnnie...and all my FReeper buddies.
Clinton (BJ), was all over Chris Wallace on Sunday's show. He is working overtime to preen and primp his legacy...and to make sure it's the revised version of events that people remember.
Morning my friend.
I feel sorry for Chris Wallace. How would you like having an angry Slick Willy wagging in your face about to explode at any second?
Thanks for the ping!
Rush might be on a tear today...Wild Willie surely gave us all ammo for months..years to come:)
