The MSM has been completely unable to mention that not only is Guantanimo not the worst prison in the world with regard to any conception of basic human rights, it is not even the worst prison on the island of Cuba.

Beyond, that, I anticipate a big release of detainees from Gitmo sometime this summer. Many of them were no doubt clueless hangers on or bystanders of terrorist activities. Those guys will be released and there will not be a lot of new prisoners to take their place because American forces don’t do a lot of patrolling anymore. The Iraqis themselves take a lot of captives and do what they will do with them. Because that is life in Iraq, the level of terrorist activities will be winding down this summer.

Barring some type of open intervention by Syria or Iran, of course. Those countries will make a big mistake if they mis-read the current American disenchantment with the war as a green signal for a ramped-up offensive.

The left and the joke of a former MSM are holding on to their only card since their world is fast falling apart. Now we know there was a connection between Saddam and the terrorists prior to 9-11. We know for a fact the Saddam was seeking uranium in Africa and today we got proof that Saddam held 448 captured Kuwaitis for 12 years in violation of all international laws and the so called treaty he signed in 1991. He also ordered that they be removed from prison and used as human shields. All of this information from a few hundred pages of captured documents and there are hundreds of thousands of pages. It was comical to watch them drag out the avowed traitor Turbin Durbin today. What a jerk, he should be dragged out and shot dead. VP Chaney finally laid old drunken Ted out bare a**ed. Even the left wing idiots (liberal arts college graduates no doubt) that think a Mercedes emblem is the peace symbol (shows the effect of liberal controlled education) should be ashamed of these two. I don’t think i’ll watch the news tomorrow, my heart won’t stand much more of the comedy routine of the dim-wits. They have dug a deep hole and are so stupid they’re still digging. You can fool all of the people some of the time and some of the people all of the time, but you can’t fool all of the people all of the time. The wheels are falling off their wagon right now. Nov. will be another massive loss for the dim-wit party.

I agree with Barry. Where is the proof other than the NY Times that this has actually happened? I don’t think I would call the incidents at Abu Ghraib torture. Humiliation yea, but torture no. Let’s ask John McCain and others of the Vietnam war what torture was. We haven’t cut off anyone’s head have we? That I believe is the ultimate torture. Why don’t you use your energy to try and stop that type of torture.

Rick, is there credible evidence of “Torture is being carried out as a matter of military routine and it must stop.”? From Sullivan there is nothing but hysteria and the NYT’s has been known to shade/misqoute/fabricate the story.

Where do you find the evidence that torture is being used routinely?
