Thank you so much CHAR, I am now officially disturbed with president Bush. I hope this only lasts for today. His speech was OK, but I think President Bush should have taken Neil Cavuto's advice: be angry, not conciliatory. The nation would have applauded him for standing up to the lib campaign of treason.

Icescream and Korans? Do a search on my posts, you will see that I am a supporter of Operation Iraqi Freedom. But this kind of pandering and icescream kid gloves treatment for "humane" "reasons" just drives me crazy. Michael-Savage crazy.

Great, another testimony saying prisoners aren't abused at Gitmo. Duh. Try the local prison, where normal Americans are sent (Martha Steward and friends excluded), if you want to see abuse.

"Doesn't giving them a Koran simply add fuel to an ideological fire already burning out of control?" Simmons asked. Those in charge were visibly surprised at the question.

This is a great point.

It is akin to giving Nazi POWs a copy of Mein Kampf or bowing toward Japanese POWs while obsequiously saying their notion the Emperor Hirohito really is God certainly should be considered!

PC is going to be the ruination of us and stymie our efforts, perhaps fatally, in this war.

Why don't they have closed circuit TV on this animals.

When the allegations of abuse came out, they should have released footage of what the guards face.

Spot-on, Charlite, thanks for posting this.

If this piece is true then we are doomed as a nation and fated to be cowed and eventually ruled by our own tormentors. The strange thing is that the author comments favorably on the gentle treatment of these prisoners. If there is no evidence against them, let them go. If there is, we should use electricity and rusty surgical instruments to extract every last ounce of intelligence, and then use these same implements to extract their very souls.

Things have gone terribly wrong when we apologize for things that we haven't done but SHOULD be doing, and NOT apologizing for.

Yet these thugs are treated with an amazing degree of compassion: They are given ice cream treats and recreational time. They live in clean facilities, and receive a full Muslim religious package of Koran, prayer rug, beads, and prayer oils. An arrow in every cell points to Mecca. The call to prayer is played five times daily. They are not abused, hanged, tortured, beheaded, raped, mutilated or in any way treated the way that they once treated their own captives or now treat their guards.

Call it compassion if you want. I say we are chumps. A group of 'non compliant' should be marched out every morning and shot until there are no more 'non compliant'.

For those who can't handle the truth!
Great post.

High time this came out.
