“Waist” of money at Guantanamo Bay as detainees get prison’s ‘infidel’ gym replaced

http://www.nypost.com/p/news/international/fitmo_ZMCwnFHLCgWlWCIcgmgZqN

“The official called Gitmo detainees “some of the most pampered prisoners on the planet.”

He said they get as many as four choices of halal meals and have access to a new $750,000 soccer field. Islamic prayer beads and rugs are now “standard issue.” They get their choice of more than 10,000 Islamic books and videos stocked by a Muslim librarian, who also records soccer and Arabic TV for them. They even have their own clerics to preach to them in Arabic.

Everyone gets a Koran, paperback or hardback, along with little hammocks to keep their holy book from touching the ground when not in use.”

I clicked your link just to see if the source really spelled "waste" incorrectly.

Journalism graduate probably.
