We’ve already heard the tales of abuse of the “illegal enemy combatants” housed in the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. War-on-Terror suspects have been detained, forced to eat unnatural foods, given only paperback editions of the Koran and denied the comforts of sexual congress with livestock. To these horrors must now be added that of repatriation.
It seems that detainees released and returned to their native lands are dissatisfied with this resolution of their status. Their home countries remain the pestilent “hell-holes” that contributed to the detainees’ motivation to join the ranks of the Islamic jihad against America. Conditions are described as “unsanitary and filthy.” Governments are oppressive and human rights few.
“When I was in the Gitmo prison I had a clean bed and prepared meals,” said Yusef Muhammed of Palestine. “I could spit on the guards, curse their god and denounce their government. Here I must share my bed with vermin and I risk my life every time I step into the street. I must watch what I say. No one provides for my needs.”
The Human Rights Watch (HRW), says that the US government is not doing enough to ensure that released prisoners are not subjected to ill treatment in their homelands. “These Middle Eastern governments are unreliable,” said HRW spokesman, Charles Callow. “Sending these men back home is a cruel punishment.”
Callow suggested that the problem be remedied by releasing the former detainees in the United States. “These men are really unfit to care for themselves,” Callow alleged. “They should be provided with housing, food stamps, and a minimum income. If we look out for their welfare we will overcome their rationale for hating us. So, by being more humane we will also be more secure.”
Presidential candidate Representative Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) disputed the characterization of Middle Eastern nations as “hell-holes.” “I have met with Syria’s President Assad,” Kucinich said. “I found him to be a kind and gentle man. His country has been inundated with Iraqi refugees. Yet, he has been generous enough to give them supplies and encourage them to return to Iraq to help resist the American occupying army.”
Kucinich said that Assad’s efforts to bring stability to the region are “hampered by the constant threat of Israeli aggression.” “Israel is the common participant in all the wars here,” Kucinich pointed out. “Israel has attacked Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine and Syria. None of these countries have fought amongst themselves. So, I’d have to say that if there is to be peace in the Middle East Israel is the key.”

Um —reading this crap is cruel punishment..if he feels that sorry for these men he should go in their place...and what about the Human Rights of our military who are getting killed in the Middle East?- they lost their human rights completely for these murderous bums ! But thats too logical for a twisted mind...sorry bastard !
Kucinich pointed out. “Israel has attacked Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine and Syria. None of these countries have fought amongst themselves. So, I’d have to say that if there is to be peace in the Middle East Israel is the key.”
Kucinich...guess he didn’t read the papers where the Lebanese military wiped out Lebanese Hamas holdouts...sure sounds like they were fighting amongst themselves...He builds up the tension about Israel and then he forgets the punchline...Wonder if he really meant to say that if there is to be peace in the Middle East, Israel is the key-that must be eliminated...oops...listen—the sound of his lips kissing Assad’s ass....
You need a big BUMP
