These are people who would gnaw through hydraulic lines in the back of a C-17 to bring it down," Gen. Richard Myers, chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, said at a Pentagon news conference with Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld.

Sounds like RATS to me.

Sounds like these guys are getting pretty good treatment compared to Sheriff Arpaio's prisoners down in Arizona. They only get 2 meals a day and the meals average .20 cents a prisoner. Neither of them hot.

"In Egypt, on a fresh water canal, I saw a man defecating in the water, while below him at a distance of not more than ten yards, women were washing clothes, and a short distance further downstream a village populace was drawing drinking water. "

"All of the animals are head shy and many are blind as a result of the 'cheerful' Arab custom of beating them on the head with a stick."

It seems to me a certainty that the fatalistic teachings of Mohammed and the utter degradation of the Arab women are the outstanding causes for the arrested development of the Arab. He is exactly as he was around the year 700, while we have been developing.

"It took me a long time to realize just how much a student of medieval history could gain from observing the Arab."

The first prisoner off the plane, who appeared to have a bandaged knee, limped as he walked to one of two waiting white school buses.

All right you maggots, get the hell off of my bus! What are you looking at? Are you trying to eye-f*** me boy?

Lol, memories of stepping off of a bus at MCRD.

There was some satisfaction in seeing these detainees sitting in the dirt with their heads down. They no longer look like big, tough bullies. Breathing is too good for them.

Amnesty International said the plan to house detainees in "cages" would "fall below minimum standards for humane treatment."

The size of the temporary cells -- 6 feet by 8 feet -- also is smaller than "that considered acceptable under U.S. standards for ordinary prisoners," the London-based group said.

Oh Puh-Leeze !! these guys were living in holes scratched out in the dirt and rocks...this is a vacation resort for them !!
