Video - CNN: Gitmo torture claims refuted with chicken dish

Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-CA) refutes claims of torture at Guantánamo Bay while displaying various foods.

"So the point is that the inmates in Guantánamo have never eaten
better, they've never been treated better and they've never been
more comfortable in their lives."

1. I propose we write Rep Hunter and demand he go there on vacation

with his family.

[reality based]

5. Maybe he'd like an interrogator to sit straddling his wife

while he crouches on all fours and barks.

[Mojambo]

2. Ahem. Daily Show? Have fun with this one. n/t

[knowbody0]

3. read the livestream

you know and I know what is driving

[Old and In the Way]

4. Mr. Hunter lives in Republican World.

Up is Down. War is Peace. White is Black.

He really ought to get his head out of his ass.

[killbotfactory]

6. Lovely!

So the next time a government imprisons you without charge in a chainlink cage for three years, being subjected to no oversight whatsoever, if they give you a chicken dinner, it's a-ok!

[Contrary1]

7. Just when I think repubs can't top

their last stupid human trick...
some moran comes along and proves me wrong.

[longship]

8. Did he show any bacon or pork chops?

.

[denverbill]

9. WOW. A Chicken Dinner? Free?!?! How can I get in there?!?

It sounds like paradise. Living in a chain link cage with a bucket to shit in, deprived of friends and family, no hope of ever proving your guilt or innocence, not knowing if you will ever be freed, the interogations, the harassment....

Why would ANYONE want to leave?

[Hippo_Tron]

23. But hey, free chicken!

[wakeme2008]

10. I want the International Red Cross to talk of the "menu" they

have been told about... Maybe the same,,, probably not and not the in quantities shown... Big difference between a chicken breast and a chicken wing...

[Drifter]

11. So as long as ...

they get a good meal between being tortured, its OK.

Cheers
Drifter

PS - I do not think there have been any complaints about lack of (or quality of) food.

[paula777]

12. I hope the hole 'karma' thing is real and he gets to experience what

he is saying is justified treatment.

[struggle4progress]

13. He should be forced to bark while crawling naked. eom

[burythehatchet]

14. words fail me

how low can these fuckers go?

[truthisfreedom]

15. let him live there then. he obviously loves the place.

check that man into gitmo, strip search him, spray him for lice, inspect his butt crack for hidden drugs and weapons, and chain him to the floor in a stress position for a week while listening to 120dB hair metal through headphones and wearing a hood.

[FreedomAngel82]

20. Yep

And also let a video camera follow him around and show the world.

[CBHagman]

16. Creepy demagogue trivializes the very real danger.

He's just trying to get the base riled up and posture for the cameras. But I'm not convinced he has the slightest clue about making America or any other part of the globe secure. He's prancing about with platters of food and a holier-than-thou attitude, and God knows what violence the world is in for.

Can you imagine how the 9/11 families feel about this moron? :mad:

[LunaC]

17. So they eat well.

What about the other 23 hrs/day when they're NOT eating?

[Roland99]

18. Check out this thread of Limbaugh defending the water torture

[Bleacher Creature]

19. Kick -- This is insane!!!

[kentuck]

21. Almost makes you want to vacation at Gitmo.....

just for all the fine food...uh-huh...

[berni_mccoy]

22. How can we have Bin Laden's Body Gaurds Captured

And Not Bin Laden? :wtf:

[Hippo_Tron]

24. The Nazis pulled the same shit with the concentration camps

Whenever somebody came to inspect them, them up and made them look very comfortable.

[quaoar]

25. Prisoners at Gitmo got to eat orange glazed chicken

therefore, they were not tortured or abused.

Only on Planet Bush.

[Liberty Belle]

26. Ugh, this is my representative! We need to run this as a billboard

alongside photos of prisoner abuse.
