OK now that you've read the article, you will stand up...wave your arms over your head...scream and yell "THE HORROR...THE HORROR!" Note: running in a circle is optional, but not a bad idea.

[Killborn]

Good. If anyone deserves to live high on the hog, it's them.

Dealing with such scum, it would be criminal not to give them creature comforts.

I've heard the guy was just upset his goat wasn't allowed to travel with him.

Govt perdiem in the Balearic Islands is $318/day...$190 for lodging and $128 for food and sundries.

Could we allow a few dedicated treasonous congress persons the privilege of taking a tour of the facilities? (wink, wink)
After all, the facilities do not exist, therefore no tour. (wink, wink)

[Valin]

No No No No No No No!
You're supposed to be shocked and horrified! Come on get with the program. :-)

Mohammed would later allege, he had been doused in hot liquids, subjected to incessant loud noise and had his penis slashed with a scalpel.

That's gotta sting

[End Times Sentinel]

I was thinking I only wish I was there to pick up part of the tab, but it seems that's already been done.

An excellent use of tax dollars!  Makes those $2,000 cash cards we sent out to the Katrina "victims" (welfare kings/queens) look even worse.

If what I just wrote made you sad or angry,
it was probably just a joke.

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

Taxpayer money well spent, as far as I'm concerned!

and had his penis slashed with a scalpel.

Well, that's how the CIA does beheadings...

[GoDuke]

"and had his penis slashed with a scalpel."

My parents did that to me when I was born. I'm calling Human Rights Watch on them right now! ;)

Ghost Plane, a new book by investigative journalist Stephen Grey describing the CIA's clandestine system of international terrorist transfers known as extraordinary rendition.


I was at B&N last night ordering a book, and you couldn't swing a dead cat without hitting a stack of this book. Sure to be a must read with the move-on/code pink/DU crowd. I would not be suprised to see him on one of the sunday morning talking head shows.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Hmmm...freedom defenders get five-star hotels and fine wine after dealing with scum.

Seventh century Islamderthal terrorists get their peckers slashed with a scalpel and have to listen to loud music.

Guess I'd have to come down on the side of our brave CIA agents.

[marron]

Our guys deserve to be treated well. Money well spent.

[Valin]

I don't think we want to know any more about this. :-)

[colonialhk]

The classes on wine seem to have taken well....

[dgallo51]

You are absolutely right…Geneva Conventions only apply to THEM! (sarcasm)

[Waverunner]

Doesn't Mr Bond hang out at casino's with Halle Barry while driving a 200,000$ aston martin?

In Morocco, Mohammed would later allege, he had been doused in hot liquids, subjected to incessant loud noise and had his penis slashed with a scalpel.

I hope the hot liquids were not the fine Spanish wine warmed to room temperature. I hope the loud noise was the Rush Limbaugh show and the scalpel has many uses, great for slicing fine cheese and meats.
Torture works, did for Mohammed here.

Hello. I guess I'll be the first to mention: "HOW THE HECK DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT SUPER SECRET CIA AGENTS ARE HAVING FOR LUNCH?"

Sorry, just seemed an obvious question.
