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.

Yes, she has. She's too smart to remain a liberal.

Rush: If Clarke's book is right then the 9-11 movie where Condy transfers him is wrong.
Then Rush reads from Clarke's book. "I [Clarke] requested that I be given that assignment.
He's outdoing Joe Wilson. Clarke said that at the 911 hearings also.
Amazing!
Yeah actually I mispoke, Clark wasn't demoted he chose this internet crap way of prosecuting actions agianst Terrorism. Which he should have been demoted for because anyone who thinks that fighting terrorists on the internet is the way to do it is a moron. Clark is a legend in his own mind, and Clinton can't even quote him properly or say what really happened.

Vigourous action to get Bin Laden??? WHERE!!! Where was any vigorous action to get BIn Laden in the 90s??? What a revisionist history load of CRAP!!!
I doubt Ditka will coach again.
Rush is on a Roll
Yes, she says she's "independent". Of course, all that means is that she's now liberal on some issues and conservative on others. But I don't say that--I don't want to antagonize her. I think it was hard enough for her to admit to herself that some of her previous positions were wrong.
Happy Birthday!
Ahh the world love when BJ was in.

I wish conservative commentators and politicians would start interjecting everytime a Democrat says "Neo-Con" and cut them off and say "Oh, you mean conservative Jews that don't vote Democrat." And make them answer to that.
