Semi-News: McCain, Graham Pushing Detainee Anti-Cruelty Bill

Smarting from barbed criticisms of the treatment of Jihadis in Gitmo Prison from Senator Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), Senators John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Lindsay Graham (R-S.C.) have introduced legislation aimed at addressing these abuses.

“Until Dick spoke up, I didn’t realize that the Gitmo inmates couldn’t get Al-Jazeera on their cable TV,” said McCain.

“I heard that the prayer rugs we’ve provided are made of synthetic fiber,” said Graham. “This is highly offensive to devout Muslims.”

The McCain/Graham bill would rectify the above cited abuses and as a show of good faith, reward prisoners who refrain from throwing their feces at guards with “Virgins in Paradise,” the magazine favored by four out of every five suicide bombers.

Are they nuts?

[Just mythoughts]

Blind leading the blind.

[America's Resolve]

If they're reacting to Durbin's nonexistent charges, then they gotta be THE two STUPIDEST people in any govt on Earth.

McCain I guess I expect it from, but Lindsey is a REAL disappointment from what he was during the impeachment days.

[MinuteGal]

Satire.

[America's Resolve]

Actually, the piece may be satire, but they've really introduced such a bill and for just the reasons stated.

[SC Swamp Fox]

This should not be in "News/Current Events".

When I read the headline I was getting ready to hit my SC ping list.

Why don't you figure out some other way to attract people to your website?

[citizencon]

Satire but consistent with McCain's and the liberal mindset. So, it's Current Events, just like Howard Dean's outrageous and out-of-this-world one-liners.

McCain was a big ally of Bin Laden during the Balkans war. I wouldn't be surprised if he formed relations with certain current enemies and would want them to remain silent by advocating on behalf of their imprisoned brethren. I think there are a few Democrats that have also crafted their public position based on the same premise. Saddam is still alive and can talk, Bin Laden is apparently still alive and can talk.

Correction: the blindly ambitious leading the blindly ambitious.

lol I stand corrected.

What a trio. I am truly irate that Graham and McCain are permitting Durbin to join them, when in fact, Durbin should be ostracized. THAT pisses me off.

I agree. What "pisses" me off these rejects are promoting the call of the 'mooolahs' around the world. They have become the poster children of the mooolahs call for more insurgents.

We lost how many Marines this past week?

[BookaT]

Is this going to apply to all countries we are shipping the detainees to? No then just stop the presses.

Stop wasting time! The only benefit I could have seen with John Mccain as President could have been a semi insane knee-jerk reaction to 9/11 inwhich he would have Nuked the ME.

Ok,Ok I am awake from my little fantasy.

[upchuck]

Agreed. Not amusing.

[1903A3]

I wonder why Arizonian keep electing this A**hole
If they had elected the most rabidly liberal donk you could not tel the difference
But we would have rid ourselves from Mc Vain

[G Larry]

WE DON'T NEED ANNNNNNNNYYYYYY NEW STINKING LAWS ON THIS SUBJECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is appeasement!!!!!

Antagonists will keep whining until mommy & daddy get to tuck in the "prisoners" at home!!!!!!!!!

[USS Alaska]

I know this is satire, but now that the US has agreed to send many "detainees" back to Afghanistan and Saudi Arabia, watch how many do not want to go "home".
Wait until some of the boys get that good old fashioned "home cooking"... rice and maggots, along with the treatment that goes along with the "religion of peace". Headless in the desert.
