Don't forget to try the cockmeat sandwich. I hear it's great.

Put Bush and Cheney in Guantanamo.

George Bush's henchman cavity searched me at Guantanamo, and all I got was this lousy t-shirt.

I hear its quite roomy!

Featuring high-count Muslim sheets.

I hear they have a half-finished flight simulator in the game room.

British media making light of American policy? Unpossible!

FTA: Scroll down for more..

Gee, thanks. 14 years on the internet, Im glad someone finally explained to me that I have to 'scroll down' to read more.
/wonders what moron they wrote that for

Get your picture taken with Lynndie!

/of course, you'll have to get naked and be stuck be put on a leash. What's a little joshing between friends

They have an online shop where I can get some of this gear?

/I've got plans...

I want one of those T-Shirts. Preferably the "Future Behavior Modification Instructor" one. LOL.

I'd go, but only because I'd like to see for myself how profoundly they manage to dissociate the prison's meaning from the resort experience.

Plus that "Kisses from Gitmo" mug is pretty snazzy. I can see myself drinking coffee while wearing my cute "The Killing Fields is For Lovers" tshirt.

That cracked me up

"Pretending that Guantanamo Bay is essentially a resort in the Caribbean is grossly offensive and the idea of relaxing in the sun while close by many individuals are robbed of their rights, tortured and abused is both repugnant and ridiculous."

That's the kind of story the Daily Mail loves, whether or not it's true. The Daily Mail is the Enquirer of Britain.

wasn't that at that abby grabby one?

The only things almost as disturbing as the existence of Gitmo are those dolphins. They look evil, and one has CHEST HAIR? Why?

stay classy, America.

FTFA: The United States' 1.5million service personnel and Guantanamo's 3,000 construction workers are eligible to visit the "resort", which boasts a McDonald's, KFC and a bowling alley.

Damn, it's not open to the public.

seminole87: "The majority are kept in isolation in cells that are no bigger than a toilet," said Katznelson.

that is one small cell

Pfft, my last place, my room was no bigger than a sink. And not one of those fancy laundry sinks or even a kitchen sink. I'm talking a bathroom sink here.

We have seen the enemy, and guess what...

Lol wut

mcwebe0, I have that sitting on my coffee table.

/also have a flag flown at camp x-ray by a buddy of mine that was stationed in gitmo as an interrogator.

I guess as a foreigner they probably wouldn't let me go anyhow.

State secrets and all that. Plus, you wouldn't want anyone getting near there and recording the screams for the international media.

While reading "the Anarchists Cookbook" for added effect?

Fast food! Retail stores! Gift shops!

So... Guantanamo Bay is just like any other large military base?

BFD

Just yards from the shelves of specially branded mugs and cuddly toys, nearly 300 "enemy combatants" lie sweltering in a waking nightmare.

Two years after the Democrats took over Congress and still our boys are waiting for the flotilla of comfy chairs and nice snacky-cakes. Shame, shame, shame.

How else do you identify the male and female without um.....Some guys like women's clothing. Some women are hairy. Hell I dunno.

What do they expect? We have to sell these trinkets. How else are we going to pay for the war?

Gotta love that argument. "We didn't fark 'em, but when you don't unfark 'em, then we'll basically have to admit we DID fark 'em to point out you didn't unfark 'em, so fark you!"

I don't know why I am surprised anymore. I don't know why I still expect a level of decency from my own people. Or, at the very least, the humanity not to gloat in the face of your defeated enemy. I don't know why I feel wounded when I see fellow Americans so completely devoid of compassion for another human being. I have felt this way for so many years now that you think I would just grow a thicker skin.

But I don't. I can't help but still believe that this is just some of us, and by some accident of history and politics, only seems like more. It is a small comfort, but it is enough. I just cannot believe that we won't get beyond this base, insipid cruelty someday,

You will. But like all countries with base, insipid cruelty in a position of power, it will be beaten out of you violently by the rest of the world when your nation finally takes it a step to far.

That, I think, is the really sad part.

Did everyone forget the part where Guantanamo is located on the island of Cuba, which is off limits to Americans? Y'know the old Cold War Missle Crisis, Bay of Pigs, trade embargo Cuba? Fidel Castro? Anyone remember that guy?

I call shennanigans.

I like people like you. I can't help it; there is just a certain charm in a person that can be supportive of the people who farked a situation up so badly that it could take a decade to fully untangle, and then mock the other side for not cleaning up your mess fast enough. It just takes a really special kind of asshole to pull that off.

Then go out and try to do something about it. Sounding like a big pussy on the internet isn't going to solve anything.

Shooting rampages are more of a right-wing nutter type of thing...Lefties prefer to believe in the democratic process, even though they are disappointed by the general idiocy of the electorate time and time again.

The electorate would rather hear what wacky thing Spears is up to again, or perhaps the juicy sex scandal of a public figure

vartian: It just takes a really special kind of asshole to pull that off.

Congress has the power to shut down Guantanamo. In case you're farking brain-dead, that's the point I was making. Too bad Congress has the Big D label these days and Big D brand has to take the flak. A very inconvenient truth, I know.
