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.

Rush pointing out that in watching Clintoinwag his long finger at Wallace, we now understand how Juanita Broderick must have felt. "Better put some ice on that Mike."

Bush creating terrorists? I read that story and it is nothing more than an opinion.

Maybe the case is that terrorists are recruiting more than ever before; but it does not follow that the Iraq war is hurting the war on terror fight and that its helping terrorists recruit. Had we not overthrown Saddam, the terrorists would hardly have nothing to help them sell terror as a tool for intimidation and victory. In fact, more terrorists were created during the 1990's when America was doing nothing than today.

That article has the all the classics of jerry-picking information information to reach a self-desired conclusion rather than any objective reporting.
