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.

"Losing Bin Laden" was written by Richard Miniter.
Richard Minter wrote that one.
I know of a good "Willie Horton" story about Clinton when he was governor
I hadn't thought of that for years, yes that would be more Clinton's speed.
"FAILING" is the new "SUCCEDING".

Bill Clinton's failure on terrorism By Caspar W. Weinberger

I blame that one on Powell. Gen Franks (Fred - not Tommy) asked for two more days, not necessarliy to oust Saddam but to totally destroy the Republican Guard. Powell advised GHWB
to turn him down.
There is a better picture of that sign coming from the other direction. It points left for Clinton and right for Prosperity. It also used to vanish all the time. Speaking of vanishing, my link for it has vanished again.
That's a tough one. I always viewed BJ as amoral, arrogant, and immature. Carter as a micromanaging incompetent, prideful, and preachy. None are qualities I want in a leader....
Excellent! :)
IHere it is .. I haven't had a chance to listen .. anything happen?

All Clinton has is talk, and he thinks that what he says now, can somehow rewrite what REALLY happened and can be proved, in the 90s. He didn't help his cause this Sunday that's for sure. He REALLUY hurt himself and all those Democrats that he's campaigned for.
Especially when he's overseas......
Who Lost Osama?
