Any one listening to this Miniter guy on Washington Journal now?

[Skidmore]

Guess he never worked inside the corrections system in the US. He's describing how when Gitmo prisoners were allowed to have interactions with one another, they formed "cells" in the prison. Then he proceeded to go on about ways in which they did this--from groups to monitor guard movements to making weapons from common items. NOTHING he described was unusual or different from any other group of prisoners reacting to being held in prison here in the US. They keep imbuing these people with some superhuman or extraevil qualities. Then this somehow justifies torture. If you sort the political rhetoric out and the hype, you are left with a bunch of people rebelling against being held in prison conditions, and pretty stark ones at that.

1. How dare they rebel, we gave them eyeglasses! Ingrates!

[Skidmore]

2. This "terrorist analyst", who just clarified himself that he is a

"journalist" thinks we're being too soft on detainees.

[billbuckhead]

3. Sounds like what WW2 movies were showing American prisoners doing

Maybe Al Queda got the idea from Hogan's Heros.

[Flying Dream Blues]

10. LOL! Great one. Ban Hogan's Heroes...those terrorists! nt

[EFerrari]

4. He also llied his ass off. Remember that Belgian team found

the prisoners at Gitmo are getting TERRIBLE healthcare?

And, he keeps saying "al Qaeda" when more than 80% of those prisoners never aimed a weapon at Coalition forces?

And, the Geneva Conventions DO cover civilians.

The Cabal can't charge these peoople because they have nothing on them. They are being FALSELY incarcerated.

[malaise]

5. Oh Yes

I'm sure that was a DUER who straighted his ass re the Geneva Conventions.

[acmejack]

6. He is very full of himself.

Though he has never worn the uniform, he has worked closely with the intelligence officers amd covered Iraq.

I liked that tidbit "Amnesty has never been to GTMO" well No since we won't let them in!

[EFerrari]

7. I really dislike the way the host just sits there and never challenges

the lies these people spew.

[Catherine Vincent]

9. I think they are afraid if they get too confrontational with their guests,

the guest won't return on their show.

[Catherine Vincent]

8. Is he their guest again?

So I take it everytime he writes a book, cspan invites him on their show?
