NEW YORK — Amnesty International is currently touring the country with a life-sized replica of a maximum security prison cell at Guantánamo Bay. But critics say the cell, which is an attempt to call attention to alleged human rights abuses at the camp, is missing basic amenities provided to prisoners. The 7x10-foot cell, on display on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., lacks amenities like bedding, toiletries and a copy of the Koran, and it has nothing to illustrate that regular meals are served to inmates three times a day.

But critics say the cell . . . is missing basic amenities provided to prisoners.

Why let facts get in the way of this hateful propaganda parade?

Cool. Next they should tour with a representation of Al Quida’s sawing off the head of a hostage.

This is nothing but a continuation of the old communist Hanoi Lobby’s tactic of touring the US with a so-called “tiger cage” that was supposed to be used at Con Son Island off the coast of So. Vietnam.

The Con Son Island hoax (Don Luce, (Sen) Tom Harkins, ex-Rep. Andrew Jacobs, ex-Rep. Augustus “former CPUSA member” Hawkins) in 1970 was thoroughly discredited by Rep. Phil Crane (R-Ill) in his Human Events news article about July 1970 (with photos) of his trip to the prison in question.

The VC used “tiger cages” to imprison and transport American POWS in So. Vietnam and possibly Cambodia. Some friends of mine were in them.

The Abu Graib tour was also based on the propagating of anti-American lies and now the ACLU has continued on with this time-honored communist propaganda tactic.

No wonder we call them the American Communist Liberties Union. It is true and fitting.
