That’s the best reason I have heard yet for closing Gitmo. [sarc]

Holdbrooks pushed a pen and an index card through the mesh

If not before, then right then he should have been pulled off duty.

I can always tell by the title if the dying media wrote the article. Bash US or promote Islam all good to them.

"He has holes the size of quarters in both earlobes, stretched-out piercings that he plugs with wooden discs"

I figured that he must have holes in his head. Photo proved it.

So has he also accepted the requirement of Wahabbiist Islam that Muslims must convert the infidel, or kill him, if he refuses to convert?

This is disturbing and another reason why its important to keep these vermin offshore instead of letting them into American prisons where they could influence ordinary American street criminals or even guards.

Shoe Bomber Richard Reid is just one of thousands of cons that have become jihadi in the joint.

Time to put him on the other side of the cell door.

Guy had a 1” thick tin foil hat (thinks Bush had colluded with 9/11 attacks) and had delved into a lot of New Age stuff. Was tattooed with a motto about being driven by demons. He’s the only guard, to Newsweek’s knowledge, that ever did this.

Not even worth a raised eyebrow, but perhaps some Christian prayers would be in order.

When I was a Marine, they had a little something called a “blanket party” that sounds tailor-made for this fella....

This idiot allowed himself to be conned by the enemy. He is a disgrace to America.

Here’s the good news: when this retard is sent to hell he will have plenty of good reading material. Newsweek went to hell a long time ago.

Well , it is easy to see how he got his security clearance.

If conservatives used a weirdo like this to make a case, Newsweek would would say that they were exploiting the mentally vulnerable.

“But then, Holdbrooks is a contrarian by nature. He can also be conspiratorial. When his company visited the site of the 9/11 attacks in New York, Holdbrooks remembers thinking there had to be a broader explanation, and that the Bush administration must have colluded somehow in the plot.”

“his parents were junkies and he himself was a heavy drinker before joining the military in 2002—helps explain what he calls his “anti-everything views.” He has holes the size of quarters in both earlobes, stretched-out piercings that he plugs with wooden discs. At his Phoenix apartment, bedecked with horror-film memorabilia, he rolls up both sleeves to reveal wrist-to-shoulder tattoos. He describes the ink work as a narrative of his mistakes and addictions. They include religious symbols and Nazi SS bolts, track marks and, in large letters, the words BY DEMONS BE DRIVEN. He says the line, from a heavy-metal song, reminds him to be a better person.”

“On his first home leave, he got engaged to a woman he’d known for just eight days and married her three months later. With little prior exposure to religion, Holdbrooks was struck at Gitmo by the devotion detainees showed to their faith.”

“Within months, Holdbrooks was released from the military—two years before the end of his commitment. The Army gave him an honorable discharge with no explanation,”

“Back in Phoenix, Holdbrooks returned to drinking, in part to suppress what he describes as the anger that consumed him. Holdbrooks divorced his wife and spiraled further. Eventually his addictions landed him in the hospital. He suffered a series of seizures, as well as a fall that resulted in a bad skull fracture and the insertion of a titanium plate in his head.”

These characters are experts at conning soft minds and lonely or alienated people. All of the guards at Gitmo should be monitored for coming under the influence of them.

It's one aspect of the Stockholm Syndrome...the captor also developes sympathy for those they are holding. Every purchase they make and every e-mail they write should be subject to review by their superior officers.

I-Like-Spam is very correct. The possible conversion of those in our prisons and the subsequent recruitment of them to the terrorist cause is a very real risk of having these guys moved from Gitmo to a prison in country.

This guy should probably spend some time with a deprogrammer.

If you can convince some idiot to blow himself up at your request, you can convince some of the more vulnerable souls to adopt your faith...find a vulnerability and exploit it...this is simple recruiting technique used by all intelligence services.

Not good! Obama will probably pen a medal on the guy.

This idiot would have joined whatever cult got hold of him first, it just happened to be TROPAL in this case.

I do think a lot of these fools (John Walker, Richard Reid and this clown) aren’t stupid; they just have an absolute lack of critical thinking skills. They’ve been told by are school system to “just think about it!” instead of actually doing some research on both sides of an issue.

Like I said, absolute fools who who are driven by what they want instead of reality.

Fraternization is a crime punishable by Courts Martial.
And that’s all I have to say on the topic...

That would rightly be called collaborating with the enemy. Bad juju.
