U.S. has used its naval base in Cuba as its main holding area for suspected members of al-Qaeda and the Taliban...
At least 12 of those set free are believed to have resumed terrorist activities, according to the Defense Department.
The best-behaved detainees are held in Camp 4, a medium-security, communal-living environment with as many as 10 beds in a room; prisoners can play soccer or volleyball outside up to nine hours a day, eat meals together and read Agatha Christie mysteries in Arabic.
...some inmates continue to provide valuable information, ranging from how al-Qaeda raises funds and recruits members to how it plans attacks and builds explosives.
...a few detainees helped uncover a previously unknown al-Qaeda cell in another country.

But a piece of relevant info left out of this article:
"Hood's inquiry identified 15 incidents in which detainees mishandled the Koran. These involved using it as a pillow, ripping pages from it, attempting to flush it down a toilet, and urinating on it, SOUTHCOM officials said. "
It should be renamed "Camp Resort"
The detainees are probably thinking up new "secrets" to reveal so they can stay on at Camp Gitmo, which is a much better place than home. Three squares, cleanliness, fun, games, sunshine, balmy breezes--why would they want to crawl back into their desert hellholes?
On the average, these guys gain 25 to 35 pounds in the first month cause they were starving or not eating much at all on the battlefield. The average lunch or dinner is fresh fruit, beans, rice, vegetables,milk, juice and tea ,cookies and deserts. These charges of abuse make me sick!
Oh, the humanity! Could be worse, I suspose. Has P.G. Wodehouse been translated into Arabic? Or Farsie?
Thanks! Great cartoon! LMAO!!!
You can see they are really suffering. (sarcasm)
had to check TWICE to make sure it wasn't Scrappleface...
And Amnesty International can't tell the difference between this and the Gulag!
What, no furloughs?
a medium-security, communal-living environment with as many as 10 beds in a room;
What, no individual suites?
prisoners can play soccer or volleyball outside up to nine hours a day,
What, and get skin cancer?
eat meals together
What, no meals in bed?
and read Agatha Christie mysteries in Arabic.
What, shoving dead white person literature down their throats?
/sarcasm
LOL!
Don't give ACLU any ideas. ;)
What's it gonna take? A nuke in a major city before we get serious?
This is Club Med complete with golden showers.
I shudder to think how much groveling and butt-kissing towards the Muslims would take place, if that happened. Just look how much has taken place since 9-11.
If anything, people should be upset that we are treating them too well, not complain about mistreatment.
But actually I am not complaining about this Club Med -- this is probably the kind of incentives they need to tell us and help us prevent some horrible terrorist attacks.
"...a few detainees helped uncover a previously unknown al-Qaeda cell in another country."
But the media should tell the truth, instead of making up outrageous lies.
Life in the Gulag goes on. Given the rhetoric of AI, how is anyone, besides the liberals, supposed to take them seriously?
Probably Murder on the Orient Express.
these fools are really gonna miss Gitmo when they are back in their sh!tholes without all the good food and medical care and clean clothes and electricity and running water and flush toilets and, and... oh the humanity--- the humanity
