Do we get a golden cookie or something for this? I'm not sure I understand the point of the tag and headline.

It only took seven and a half years. Hero tag, indeed.

Not sure I trust this report since it came from the Pentagon. How about an independent, unbiased observer?

No farking shiat, gee, lets have U.S. journalists and Congress people tell the world, that GW bush condones torture and inhumane treatment at a US prison.. The world apparently believes it. Now the very same prison belongs to Obama and all of a sudden, no abuse ever took place at said prison, no its all clean, thanks too ST. Obama!!

 
robmilmel [TotalFark] 2009-02-21 02:49:21 AM  
panfried: no abuse ever took place

They said no such thing...they said CURRENTLY it meets the standards for humane treatment.
Yet, these people still have yet to be charged with any crime, or allowed legal process.

Because that's exactly what "currently" means.

where are you getting that from?

Off the top of my head the 2 things people had the most issues with were The isolation the prisoners faced and the lack of any legal rights.

 
panfried [TotalFark] 2009-02-21 02:58:17 AM  
the Bush administration had created a humane detention camp. Speaking of the remaining detainees, this official said the report showed that if the men were moved, they might "go from a humane environment to a less humane environment."

Read it fom TFA!

 
tallguywithglasseson [TotalFark] 2009-02-21 02:58:46 AM  
So Obama asked the Pentagon for a report on how they're treating Guantanamo prisoners, and the Pentagon answers back "just fine, Chief".

I'm not sure what he was expecting them to say, like "we've totally been f*cking up this whole time lol!"

A cynical person might read something into the way they're claiming everything has been on the up and up, BUT there are some things that could be done... to be EVEN MORE on the up and up...

I'm not really sure I understand the whole "ST. Obama" angle you're going for here. Are you implying that Obama is somehow lying about a report that he hasn't even been given yet?

Creating something is very different from operating it.

The more things change, the more they stay the same. You don't get the top job in the U.S. or the position as "Most powerful Man in the World" without first answering a few questions and pledging your allegiance to the ones who have been making the key calls for at least a hundred years or more.. Obama is just a puppet as was Bush, Clinton, Bush I, Maybe not so much Reagan (Alzheimer's), Definitely Carter, Who the hell was Ford, Nixon etc..

Does anyone actually believe the people incarcerated at Gitmo have any useful information which can help find terroristic people and/or bin Landen?

Gitmo was used to house detainees from around the world, These lowlifes where treated fairly under the agreements of the Geneva conventions. The Democrats tryied to convince the world that torture and daily humiliation was the rule of the day, now GITMO belongs to them and they have to "Skip step" to try and make the world beleive that it is now "club paadice". Lovely

No, obviously the meddling of ancient dragons will influence the results slightly.

I don't understand how this secret ultra government shiat gets out of middle schools. Even the smallest governments are so saturated with corruption and bureaucracy that they are completely incapable of subtly and secretly running anything. It's just so damn unrealistic to expect those with power to cooperate so fluidly.

but....I thought Bush and Obama are one in the same? Why would the "secret cabal" approve of one but not the other when they control both of them????

Nobody said farking shiat about club paradise except for you. I'm still having a hard time seeing your point of view. So... there was or wasn't mistreatment under Bush's reign? Your opinion, please. If there was mistreatment, do you suppose that Obama is continuing it under all of this scrutiny? Is he stopping it? Covering it up? Was there no mistreatment at all and this is just... what really? An elaborate ploy by those filthy dems to discredit themselves? What the fark are you even talking about?

Because only liberals are concerned with gross violations of human rights and due process.

Oh right, that's pretty much proven to be the case, I guess.

Sad but true.

I know it's tough for you liberals to do this, but if you don't like the ruling, don't be a freedom-hating terrorist. It's that simple.

So explaining something simple to masses that don't seem to understand is scrambling now?
