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.

Happy Birthday to you!

You're buddies taking you out drinking?
I have a feeling its going to be a record day!
What Rush should do is show (or at least talk about) some of the video clips he showed on his TV show. He showed some of Bill Clinton really exploding with anger at aides for the littlest things. They were way worse than anything the MSM show.
Yes, the more I think about it, the more set up this seems. I think BJ thought he would come off much better though.
Everyone I have seen this morning equates that interview with the famous "I DID NOT HAVE SEX WITH THAT WOMAN".
I hate it for him...not.
I hope there's video or at least audio of that rant at his staff.
It's a poor workman who blames his tools. :^P

President Bush to do the coin toss at the NO Saints game tonight!
Could this be true? I thought Bush Hated Black People and we all know that NO is a chocolate only city.
Oh my- that would be wonderful...a video of his rant at the staff. Not sure if that exists.
