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.

Here's a blast from the past: Leftist group FAIR accused Clinton of wagging the dog and complained that Clinton had the support of the right.

Bottom line is that Bubba, former president, gets riled by FOX and claims "conservative hit job" and then proceeds to act like a whiny snot-nosed bratty child.

I can't imagine that regular Mr.&Mrs. America watching that interview was left with a positive impression of Bill Clinton.

It was youth culture during the 60's that was allowed to hijack popular culture...eventually society changed for the worse IMO.

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?!?!?!?!?

First Clinton say;s he would send 100 troops and a helicopter to Afghanistan, now its 20,000 troops searching for Bin laden.
