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.

Interview with Brit? Never happen.
Trust me... you don't want to know.
Between the ears, I'm still 19. Then I try to get out of bed in the morning....groan!
The lack of interest in pointing out that fact is really annoying. Clarke was a froot loop!
I have a friend who I am sure gets stopped all the time...
...He looks exactly like OBL without the beard!
And how. Rush is doing GREAT today. Really nailing it. Clinton so needs to shut up and go home because the more he fights on this the more he damages himself, because the facts of this are not on his side.
Scorpios are great, aren't they! ;>
You are a fine young conservative, and you mustn't pollute your mind with such ideas! It's a liberal canard that only youth has value. It's a conservative value to respect and enjoy each stage of life, and to feel no need to pretend that we're younger than we are.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
For the Michael Shier quote, I refuse to agree "Bush botched it at Tora Bora".
We had boots on the ground (the military) there. Clinton didn't even go that far, only allowing the CIA to sneak around. By the time Tora Bora occured, it was a military operation. CENTCOM was pounding Tora Bora with BLU-82's!!! The fact that CENTCOM elected to use Afghani infantry vice waiting to get Army Rangers, etc, was due to timing. That decision was rightly left for the commander in theater, not the President, for Goodness sakes!
Someone who believes their own lies is called a sociopath. I've often thought that about bj.
Clinton's own are taking him down!
Sure they did... OBL did a video message for them.
Makes sense to me
ooooohhhh that's wicked. ;-)
No one watches the CBS morning show so there is no thread.
I thought I was the only one who was disturbed by seeing Clinton's legs while he sat for the interview. I kept wondering why Clinton's people would let their guy on tv and not be aware that his pants and socks were too short. He looked truly geeky.
Thank You
Just because Clinton had a copy of Age of Empires running on his Oval Office PC with a scenario that Cohen designed, that isn't the same as "Battle Plans" to get Bin Laden.
Yes. We sting only when provoked. My mom calls me an introvert!
Maybe Fox required it so he couldn't steal any documents?
