The documents surfaced last week in a U.S. Court of Federal Claims lawsuit stemming from a dispute over a more than $5 million contract to provide library and seminar services to detainees at U.S. Naval Station Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
Thanks to a multimillion-dollar federal contract, Guantanamo Bay prisoners can enroll in seminars to learn all about basic landscaping and pruning, calligraphy and Microsoft PowerPoint while the U.S. figures out what to do with them.
“At a minimum, the art seminar shall include water color painting, charcoal sketching, Arabic calligraphy, acrylic painting and pastel painting,” contract records reviewed by The Washington Times state.
President Obama is pushing once again to make good on his promise to shut down the prison, hoping to make it easier to transfer detainees out of the facility as part of the upcoming debate on the annual defense policy bill.

“Look at my pretty picture of a kitty beheading an infidel!”
It is very important to maintain the facilities at Guantanamo.
The Guantanamo prison is the place where the present criminals in the White House, Senate and House and certain high profile lackies will be exiled for life
I recall reading something about a very expensive soccer field that was built there too.
They should force the terrorists to sign up for Obamacare. That would be worse than waterboarding.
You remember it correctly.
Guantanamo detainees get new $750G soccer field

EXCERPT:
“At a time of record deficits, a new soccer field for detainees at Camp 6 in Guantanamo Bay is just getting the finishing touches — at a cost of $750,000 to taxpayers.
The project began in April 2011 and is due to finish this spring. The detainees will now have three recreation facilities at Camp 6, which is home to “highly compliant” detainees who live in a communal setting.
The new field has been specially constructed so that the detainees “have maximum access” — about 20 hours a day. “
‘Waist’ of money at Guantanamo Bay as detainees get prison’s ‘infidel’ gym replaced
EXCERPT:
“But just a few years ago, detainees got so plump from overeating hummus and other dishes from the camp’s Islamically correct menu that commanders specially ordered treadmills to help them lose weight.
Then they ordered them again — because they weren’t made by Muslims.
...Detainees even persuaded prison officials to stop raising the American flag anywhere they could see it.”
...and the criminals in congress and the white hut say that there is no money to pay the military. Traitorous liars.
Life skills? Now, Ackmed, whatever you do don’t push this button.
Lemme guess, those only want to kill a few infidels compared to those who want to kill a lot?
Rush was right again...”Club GITMO”.
