Lubyanka Prison was no picnic nor were the Gulags. Gitmo is a Four Seasons compared to them.
He should have seen the jails in the old Soviet Union. I saw a documentary on them. Not the place one would want to be.
Most “journalists” and their “cameramen” are sissies anyway. This guy should have just sucked it up and took it like a man. Whining is very unflattering.
He’s just doing his thing as a loyal Blue Dog Democrat. Gotta hold to the party approved rhetoric.
Given that he wasn’t experimented on....or gassed...and seems to have all his body parts....I’m gonna go ahead and call him a moron.
16 month hunfer strike?
Who was feeding him thr baloney sandwiches?
Poor Sami, air cionditioined air in the saumnmer, heat in the winter; free medical care, freedom to practive his religion, three squares a day, bath facilities including flushing toilets and hot water.
Oh yeah, he really roughed it alright.
His street creds are shot and he knows it.
Looks like Obama has his VP pick.
He’s welcome to try a Sudanese jail. At Gitmo they have air conditioning.
The American military was so horrible that they spent thousands of US taxpayer dollars to chauffeur him home.
All of these people should have been "disappeared" the way the Argentinians used to do it.
Has he made any calls to North Carolina and Indiana voters, asking them to support Barack Hussein Obama yet?
I take it this tard has never visited Dachau or Auschwitz, or even a prison in his own crappy country.
Precise and to the point. This freaking moron should be thankful he wasn't interned at Club Auschwitz-Birkenau.
Is this Obama’s brother?
he’s from the right part of the continent , but..
No.
Katz-Nelson, I presume? Likely to be a red-diaper hippie baby born on a commune.
TY
Maybe if he carries on about how horrible Gitmo is, his jihadist buddies will call off the war to avoid being incarcerated there.
Not one of these slimes should EVER be released.
Nor should the location of the place where they are kept ever be made public. I have several locations in mind where these maggots could be kept where they would never be found, and from where they could never escape.
Are those all his real teeth? You mean he didn’t get them knocked out, or they didn’t fall out due to deficiency disease like scurvy? And he got free dental treatment. The horror.
