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.

OJ?
Thanks a mil for that post (I have a huge crush on Cliff May for quite some time).
Listening to Rush disect the interview helps alot. I wondered what global warming had to do with anything. That really was juvenille.
I can't imagine that regular Mr.&Mrs. America watching that interview was left with a positive impression of Bill Clinton.
I know what you mean, Roccus.
Am actually able to listen to Rush in real time. What a great show about Clinton.
CLINTON NEVER CRITICIZED BUSH!!! THAT'S ALL HE'S DONE FOR FIVE YEARS ANYTIME HE HAS THE CHANCE!!!
LOL

Get angry all you want, Billy Bob...we know where your priorties are...
I agree. It's sad to see people struggling to deny their age and appear young rather than embracing the wisdom and maturity that come with age. I'm all for fitness and health, but not denial of reality!
And as Mewzilla pointed out, how could Clinton order a finding for the CIA to kill Bin Laden when it was illegal for them to assassinate anyone?!?!?!?!?
What did Chris Wallace do when Clinton said that to him, about the smirk?
Actually, Bubba knew about Osama in 1993-94...I posted a quote earlier.
I'm starting to get sick of these sound bites....oh, geez, here we go again with the "little smirk on your face" clip. I can't believe this lttle tool was ever our President.
