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.

"...it does show the Boy President's true nature."
IMO, he has always been this way. Just as he always wanted to be President.
Also IMO, about 47 years ago, in Hope, Arkansas, there was a young man who had every reason to beat a young Bill Clinton into the playground pavement for something he said or did. That he did not is a shame!
Move your bones?
Good grief--I can't believe these Clinton soundbites! Clearly he had no idea how petulant and juvenile he sounded. I'll bet Miss Hillary was shaking her head in disgust. After all, she still needs him to get her to the White House, and he's just dealt himself a severe blow to his own credibility. I'm not sure we could have scripted this any better!
Never heard that before!! "move your bones" ?????
Clinton sounds like a 13 year old whining about how "it's not my fault!".
Excellent work, Ali!
Mr. Clinton, as a wise little old green man once said, "TRY NOT! DO or DO NOT. There IS NO try."
What the heck did that mean, anyway?
Chris looked surprised, then he turned his head and chuckled a little bit, I believe, because he ALWAYS has a smirky expression. He had been looking at Clinton with his NORMAL look on his face, not smirking at him.
Ali ALWAYS does excellent work! =)
I thought it was strange that clinton would use the verb "kill" in relation to OBL. As in he "trahhd to kill im." Can you imagine the firestorm if GWB had said the exact thing? Ye gads and liddle fishees!
That's what I want to know.
Clinton looked like the tool that he is during this interview.
He was probably eying one of the girls in the newsroom and thinking about "jumping her bones" and it came out wrong..
I just spit diet coke everywhere.
LMAO!
