Where's my 72 virgins? |
The Associated Press has some transcripts from hearings on enemy
combatants at Guantanamo Bay:
Abdul Hakim Bukhary, from Saudi Arabia, denied
joining al-Qaida but said he met bin Laden 14
or 15 years ago while fighting a jihad against
Russian forces in Afghanistan. He traveled to
Afghanistan to participate in jihad against
the United States after Sept. 11, 2001, but was
jailed by the Taliban before he could fight any
Americans. The Taliban suspected him of being a
spy after he said he liked Ahmed Shah Massood.
After the United States invaded, he was sent to
Guantanamo, where he said conditions were much
improved. "Prisoners here are in paradise.
American people are very good. Really. They give
us three meals. Fruit juice and everything!"
Still, he said, he wanted to be freed and returned
to his family.
Andrew Sullivan has characterized Guantanamo as "Camp Holiday Inn," but
it sounds as though he was being too harsh.

Dear Betty,
Thanks for your tale. Too bad it isn't true but what can we expect from a
neocon
nazi fascist?

Rolph's a fucking liar, Rolph's a fucking liar, Rolph's a fucking
liar...
From the AP, no friend of Bush:
Abdul Hakim Bukhary, from Saudi Arabia, denied joining al-Qaida but
said he met bin Laden 14 or 15 years ago while fighting a jihad against
Russian forces in Afghanistan. He traveled to Afghanistan to
participate in jihad against the United States after Sept. 11, 2001,
but was jailed by the Taliban before he could fight any Americans. The
Taliban suspected him of being a spy after he said he liked Ahmed Shah
Massood. After the United States invaded, he was sent to Guantanamo,
where he said conditions were much improved. "Prisoners here are in

meals. Fruit juice and everything!" Still, he said, he wanted to be
