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.

The credit goes to Quilla for this great find!
Wow! his finger is bent too!
Seems to me the City can damn well tow your car away at any time, if they wish. Suddenly they need permission.
They wanted Nagin, they have Nagin.
Better the Dome, at least we can see where the money went.
"four years of constantly repeating a lie makes it difficult. I just don't fool with idiots that believe it anymore."
The problem is that there a MILLIONS of "fools" who believe these lies to be gospel....
How do you counter something like this???
Cnn is on a "Bush Is Manipulating Gas Prices" spree right now. They are quoting "Liberal Blogs", but the IMPRESSION left on the sheeple is that it's all part of a vast conspiracy.....
You can't argue about it....we just have to keep voting their messiahs out.
Good graphic except for the socks...Slick does not wear executive socks, lol..
Good point, the people in Peoria have seen the decency with which both former President "41" and our current President "43" Bush and their wives have continued to treat the XXX-Prez Clinton and his "wife". Never a mean or sarcastic word, only respect and honor. And in return, the Bushes get nothing but back-stabbing.
Deep inside himself, there is some part of Bill Clinton, that knows he isn't 10% of the man that George Bush, or his father, or Ronald Reagan were. He is hoping to just be seen as better than Carter at this point.
"He leaned into Wallace's body space and when he tapped the papers in Wallace's lap -- well, that was a metaphoric castration."
I saw it as "Why is ever'body always pickin' on me?"
Hey ya'll. My computer broke. I have a new one. Thanks for worrying. I would hate to disappear and not have anyone notice. It's good to be back.
Thank goodness you are okay!!
I have posted about you for a couple of days...but I was afraid people would think I was stalking you or something...LOL
New computeritis seems to be going around....what kind did you get?
They have not yet figured out what my poor puter contracted. I was about to head off to one of my daughter's offices just to check in. I always worry when "regulars" don't show up for days.
Not only that. How do we know the report is true? Funny how the supposed report is regurgitating word for word Kerry Campaign propaganda from the 2004 election.
How much you want to bet like dozen and dozens of supposed "News" reports, this is nothing but a Democrat Party dirty trick? Just like the "Bush National Guard" story.
I guess we ought to thank Bill Clinton for sucking all the PR air out of the room with his hyserics to divert the Junk Media from this phony PR piece on the War.
Whew!
I pinged you at least once to something or other...glad you're well!
Thanks. It was awful. I can attest without any doubt that, without the internet you do not know what is going on.
And guess who perpared that indictment? Patrick Fitzgerald!
OK, thanks for clarifying that. I wasn't paying much attention in the 90's, and I'm still catching up! In the process, I've gone from moderate Democrat, to "independent", to conservative.
Ha. Now 60, that is retirement time so I'm kinda looking forward to that.
