Keeping up with Ameri-terrorism

cuz the Whole World—and Congress—knows we’re the Evil Ones

[California Republican—yes, they exist.--] Rep. Duncan Hunter, chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, displayed for reporters Guantanamo-like prison entrees of lemon-baked fish and oven-fried chicken with rice, fruit and vegetables — “purchased for them by American taxpayers” — to illustrate conditions at the prison and to counter claims of mistreatment.

“They’ve never eaten better. They’ve never been treated better,” the California Republican said. “We don’t beat them. We don’t touch them. We’ve been treating people well.”

TIME magazine TIME: re: interrogation of the 20th 9-11 terrorist

... the interrogators could use stress strategies like standing for prolonged periods, [I did that yesterday, in the hot sun and dust, surrounded by bawling cows] isolation for as long as 30 days, removal of clothing, forced shaving of facial hair, playing on “individual phobias” (such as dogs) and “mild, non-injurious physical contact such as grabbing, poking in the chest with the finger and light pushing.” [I got shoved by a cow, too.  Cows are bigger, even, than Marines.  ...just sayin’]

...playing Christina Aguilera music. [which some filk pay 99¢ *per song* on iMac] According to the log, his handlers at one point perform a puppet show “satirizing the detainee’s involvement with al-Qaeda.” [ok—that’s just cruel - esp. if it involved those Giant Puppet Heads™ the Moonbats love.  *shudder*] He is taken to a new interrogation booth, which is decorated with pictures of 9/11 victims, American flags and red lights. He has to stand for the playing of the U.S. national anthem. His head and beard are shaved. He is returned to his original interrogation booth. A picture of a 9/11 victim is taped to his trousers.

...subjected to a drill known as Invasion of Space by a Female, and he becomes especially agitated by the close physical presence of a woman. [ohdeargod - the humaaaaaanity ...I hope it also involved the ‘close physical presence’ of her cattle prod...]

...They strip-search him and briefly make him stand nude. They tell him to bark like a dog and growl at pictures of terrorists. They hang pictures of scantily clad women around his neck. [where he can’t even see ‘em—the Marines can, tho… heh.] A female interrogator so annoys al-Qahtani that he tells his captors he wants to commit suicide and asks for a crayon to write a will. [the comedy just writes itself...]

From the logs: Interrogators began telling detainee how ungrateful and grumpy he was. [how often do I hear *that*...] In order to escalate the detainee’s emotions, a mask was made from an MRE box with a smily face on it and placed on the detainee’s head for a few moments. A latex glove was inflated and labeled the "sissy slap” glove. The glove was touched to the detainee’s face periodically after explaining the terminology to him. The mask was placed back on the detainee’s head. While wearing the mask, the team began dance instruction with the detainee. The detainee became agitated and began shouting. [stable fella...]

....Corpsman changed ankle bandages to prevent chafing. [chafing? *chafing*???] Interrogater began by reminding the detainee about the lessons in respect and how the detainee had disrespected the interrogators. Told detainee that a dog is held in higher esteem because dogs know right from wrong and know how to protect innocent people from bad people. [true dat] Began teaching the detainee lessons such as stay, come, and bark to elevate his social status up to that of a dog. Detainee became very agitated. ...

Dick Durbin:
On one occasion, the air conditioning had been turned down so far and the temperature was so cold in the room, that the barefooted detainee was shaking with cold. ..... On another occasion, the [air conditioner] had been turned off, making the temperature in the unventilated room well over 100 degrees. ...On another occasion, not only was the temperature unbearably hot, but extremely loud rap music was being played in the room, and had been since the day before, with the detainee chained hand and foot in the fetal position on the tile floor. 

If I read this to you and did not tell you that it was an FBI agent describing what Americans had done to prisoners in their control, you would most certainly believe this must have been done by Nazis, Soviets in their gulags, or some mad regime--Pol Pot or others--that had no concern for human beings. Sadly, that is not the case. This was the action of Americans in the treatment of their prisoners.

How many terrorists did that statement recruit, Dick? 

My recommendation:
Douglas Woods is being debriefed as we speak. I recommend that we do to the Gitmo detaineeeees exactly what he reports was done to him.

Perhaps we can create “a powerful recruiting tool for “ freedom, as Gitmo “has become a powerful recruiting tool for terrorists,’’ at least according to Teddy “moral authority” Kennedy. 

1. I posted the menu on my blog.  After reading that log that Time published, I had to laugh.  I had a toughter time going through BUD/S and E&E training then these terroist scum have at Gitmo.  In fact, this is likely the best these thugs have ever had it in their wrtetched lives.

   Of course, had they played rap for this mioscreant and hung a semi-nude picture of say Janet Reno around his neck, I might be inclined to say that was a tad much, but only a tad.

   Mean while, while these low life’s are dining on lemon fish, my son and his buddies in the 10th Mountain Division are eating MREs.
