1. So we'll see scenes of happy Muslims
eating orange chicken and enjoying a life they'd only have dreamed about in Iraq. Right?

12. Playing good cop...bad cop! Too bad he left before bad cop wiped
that smile off his face with the back of his hand and hoisted him back up to the ceiling with his wrists behind his back.

18. I've played golf at GITMO!
Yatera Seca Country Club! Dirt fairways, sand "greens" and astrotrurf "launch pad"! Them desert-dwelling camel jockeys would feel right at home! Maybe the guards use Abdul, Mohammad and Osama as caddies?

3. he's eaten the food, talked to the guards and it's one of the finest
facilities he's ever seen.

All Americans should have an opportunity to visit...they'd be proud.

:wtf:

PS: He hasn't been able to talk to any of the prisoners/

6. "All Americans should have an opportunity to visit...they'd be proud."
Is this PR for the facility...or the Patriot Act?

8. Why is CNN there? Aren't all of their "journalists" in Aruba?
Edited on Fri Jun-24-05 02:02 PM by Blue Belle
Actually, I heard on NPR that my Senator (Wyden) and Senator Bill Nelson (Democrat from Nebraska - I think) are going there this weekend to better understand the conditions of Gitmo. In my opinion, the only way anyone will understand the actual conditions of that prison is if they are sent there as a prisoner... beyond that, the only thing these Senators will be subject to is a "Play nice for a few days" cover up and acting performances that the likes of Tom Cruise would envy.

14. Sorry.. shows how much I watch CNN.
Everytime I have flipped though the channels this week, they had something on the "Aruba" case... I mean EVERY TIME!! Is that network deliberatly trying to revert to the likes of "E", "Inside Edition", or "Entertainment Tonight"?? I miss the days when Ted Turner owned that Network...
