As time passes, we hear more and more 'horror stories' about what is going on at the prison for bad guys in Cuba. The problem with the prisoners at Gitmo is not training or lack of leadership, but that the news media has been given access to the prison in the first place.

In the past week, I have hear about 'storm troopers' who raided a prisoner's cell, and torture tactics used to get prisoners to speak. Somehow, we have forgotten that we are at war, and this kind of stuff happens in war. I am not in favor of soldier kicking a holy book, but it happened and the world didn't end.

After listening to endless reports of 'possible' violations at Gitmo, maybe the problem isn't with the policies and procedures for the detainees, but with the fact that the public has access to what is happening at the prison?

One problem is that our pathetic representatives of the GOP won't stand and defend the policies at gitmo. When is the last time one of them has stood to remind us that the policies at gitmo are within the rules of the geneva convention. And let's not forget that the animals in gitmo aren't even covered by geneva convention rules.

Close Gitmo? Sure, and invite all residents to swim home!

Gitmo is not supposed to be a 5 star hotel....but it's damn close. They don't work. They order their own food. They love the heat. They have a Koran in every room. What's their problem??
