"And we can expect the same now in Cuba."

The military is saying that the image in question was shot from the Cuban side. Castro playing head games. Who better to manipulate our media than a dictator? ( I don't need to name names...)

"DU says Guantanamo is like the Hanoi Hilton"

Immediately, I wonder: just how many DU types would have been "guests" at the Hanoi Hilton? I mean, these guys are ignorant and clueless beyond belief!

Oh...sorry

I mean, these guys are ignorant and clueless beyond belief!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"The Red Cross is arranging for them to have copies of the Koran," the prime minister's spokesman added

This was already done - the cells had those mumbo jumbo readers already waiting for their guests from day one.

This is how it ends for British civilzation - not with a bang but a whimper. They are now apologists for the Royal British Islamic Terrorist Society. How can we take the Brits any more seriously thant he French when they are all acting like a bunch of white flag surrender monkeys 24/7?

I saw a live report from Orlando Salinas in Cuba. He said those pictures were taken on the Cuban side of the prison, Castro had allowed some reporters to take those pictures. On the base side they can't get close enough to take pictures like these.

Superb, Registered. One question; how can I get a pair of those fashionably black oven mits? The only ones I can find have silly designs and pictures of the Doughboy - which I gather would be insulting to our Cuban guests - as well as most people who actually cook.

Under the Geneva Convention, PoWs must be tried by the same courts and under the same procedures as US soldiers.

However, non-uniformed combatants can be summarily executed. We're being kind.

Personally, I'd suggest summarily executing any of them who claims he's gonna kill Americans while he's there.

What??? No loofahs, no bath salts, no moisturizer, no soft scrub for the back?? This is positively indecent. Take them back to afghanistan and restart the battle, take no prisoners this time.

of course, it is painfully obvious why all this is happening. it's happening for the same reason that the chinese "president" is viewing the tape of the 9/11 horror over and over and over...people all over the world hate us because we have it so good...because we really are a model for many countries in many (not all) ways.

they are picking at every little thing because they are GASP*JEALOUS*...jealous of our way of life, our prosperity, the fact that most people in this country have lots more rights than anywhere else in the world.

this is pukey. those who criticize are incapable of caring for monsters like those in guantanamo themselves, yet they SURELY have ideas on how to do it better...those who criticize will pony up almost NO money to help care for the military efforts.

i say, let's let the critics go to guantanamo and serve as soldiers for the al queada....surround 'em ALL with a barbed wire fence.

we can throw some rations in every now and then for all of em.
