Detainees at Guantanamo Get Holiday Greetings |
The fact that these scoundrels are receiving any mail, let alone
"Holiday" greetings, is solid proof that they are being treated
humanely.

WASHINGTON - How do you say "Season's Greetings" to an enemy
combatant being held at Guantanamo Bay? It's only a guess, but maybe
the cheeful holiday cards go like this:
Dear Avowed Enemy of America: Merry Christmas.
Dear I Yearn to Be a Martyr and Hook Up With 72 Virgins in Heaven:
Happy Hanukkah.
Dear Friend of Usama Bin Laden: Happy New Year.
It's a well-established tradition for Americans at home to deliver
Christmas cheer to U.S. soldiers stationed around the world, but it
turns out that prisoners held in the War on Terror are getting good
tidings of their own, too.
The 400 or so detainees at Joint Task Force detention facility in
Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, have received approximately 500 holiday greeting
cards, said Army Col. Lora Tucker, a spokeswoman for the prison.
She said she did not know the faith content of the cards sent to the
mainly Muslim detention population, because "Once it goes to the
detainee, it's the detainee's mail."
She said the guard force at Gitmo has no interest in the content of the
mail after it is screened for operations and security purposes.
Because nearly all the cards came from the United States, they probably
had either a "happy holiday" or a Christmas theme, Tucker said,
although it was possible some of the cards might be for the upcoming
Muslim holiday of Eid ul-Adha.

Yeah, what a bunch of assholes, being all held without charge for 4 years
and being found guilty of nothing. How dare they receive any respect during
the holidays.
You and Fox are like two retarded cousins trying to play doctor during bath
time.

Your espousal of the unconstitutional, un-American actions of the Bush
administration clearly provides a strong indication that you are an enemy of
the USofA. Accordingly, and in accord with the Bush definitions of potential
enemy combatants, it logically follows that you would be happy were the
agents of the FBI to come to your home, and without a valid search warrant,
search it, destroy and damage misc belongs and then haul you off to Gitmo or
a military brig somewhere and keep you incommunicado for several years. You
obviously must be guilty because otherwise you wouldn't be there. And,
because you are there, and guilty therefore, you won't have a problem with
not being allowed access to the courts or a lawyer or even being allowed to
make any communication to anyone outside. Of course, this is all predicated
on your acceptance of the abrogation of the rights in the Constitution that
your pResident has promoted - but that shouldn't be a problem for you;
should it?

How do you plan to spend Christmans, Mr. Nazi turd? Alone, as usual,
just like your Friday and Saturday nights? Is this why you're acting
like a piece of *****: to get even? Why don't you become a better person
instead?

Even if they get regular beach time for good behavior I don't think
Club Guano is going down as high point in the defense of Liberty.

Now if we only knew for certain that All of them were actually
Scoundrels.
Unfortunately, we don't know that.
