1. Does Al-Qaeda mean "orange jumpsuit" in arabic?

[JohnLocke]

8. Actually, it means "the foundation" or "base."

;)

9. Well, you shot that conspiracy theory right down.

11. I think they're actually saying "Owl Qaega"

which might just mean "orange jumpsuit" in Arabic.

Then again it might not.

We've unleashed such barbarism and hatred that it may be impossible to contain it without jihads, crusades and fundie apocalypticism (is there an actual word for that?) running their bloody courses.

2. Orange means you're condemned in the middle east.

The prisoners at Guantanamo thought they were going to be executed because they were put in orange jump suits. Officials at Gitmo considered not informing them otherwise.

Seriously, it's just a cultural thing. I don't know why.

5. Here's a link

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A37364-2004Jun12.html

On the U.S. Navy base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, the newly arriving detainees thought they were walking into certain death. Dressed in reddish jumpsuits, a hue reserved for condemned men in the Arab world, the captives believed they were about to be executed.

U.S. military officers wondered whether the fears could work in their favor.

"The detainees think they are being taken to be shot," the military officers noted in one of a series of Defense Department memos written at the base and obtained by The Washington Post. "Should we continue not to tell them what is going on and keep them scared."

6. Seems to be the color red in general...

...rather than the orange jumpsuit specifically, that represents a condemned man.

7. redish orange...

Either way, the color of jumpsuits in Gitmo convinced them they were gonna die.

12. I could be wrong, but.......

Doesn't the color orange indicate that a man would be "condemned to hell"?? Condemned to die....to hell. Not splitting hairs or anything...

My question is where did they get these jumpsuits? Can you order them on the Al-Qeada "website" along with 8x10 glossy photos personally signed by Bin Laden?

3. Orange jumpsuit again

Hmmm didnt see or hear that before.

This really is starting to get smelly like some week old shrimp left out in the trash.
