Gotsta' Gitmo

In a shocking development, Dave from Garfield Ridge has confessed to aiding the Taliban during the '01 invasion.

He is now being held without trial at Guantanamo Bay. Reportedly with a huge grin on.

A draft manuscript obtained by The Associated Press is classified as secret pending a Pentagon review for a planned book that details ways the U.S. military used women as part of tougher physical and psychological interrogation tactics to get terror suspects to talk.
Saar said he witnessed about 20 interrogations and about three months after his arrival at the remote U.S. base he started noticing "disturbing" practices.
...
One female civilian contractor used a special outfit that included a miniskirt, thong underwear and a bra during late-night interrogations with prisoners, mostly Muslim men who consider it taboo to have close contact with women who aren't their wives.
...
Some Guantanamo prisoners who have been released say they were tormented by "prostitutes."
...

In another case, Saar describes a female military interrogator questioning an uncooperative 21-year-old Saudi detainee who allegedly had taken flying lessons in Arizona before the Sept. 11 terror attacks. Suspected Sept. 11 hijacker Hani Hanjour received pilot instruction for three months in 1996 and in December 1997 at a flight school in Scottsdale, Ariz.

"His female interrogator decided that she needed to turn up the heat," Saar writes, saying she repeatedly asked the detainee who had sent him to Arizona, telling him he could "cooperate" or "have no hope whatsoever of ever leaving this place or talking to a lawyer.'"

The man closed his eyes and began to pray, Saar writes.

The female interrogator wanted to "break him," Saar adds, describing how she removed her uniform top to expose a tight-fitting T-shirt and began taunting the detainee, touching her breasts, rubbing them against the prisoner's back and commenting on his apparent erection.

In November, in response to an AP request, the military described an April 2003 incident in which a female interrogator took off her uniform top, exposed her brown T-shirt, ran her fingers through a detainee's hair and sat on his lap. That session was immediately ended by a supervisor and that interrogator received a written reprimand and additional training, the military said.

In America we don't call this torture, we call it VIP.

I'm not sure we'll ever see Dave again.
More here, here, and here.

Perhaps the single cruelest act was informing the detainees that there would be no more dollar bills issued until they broke.

OK, so Dave's got a "huge grin on." Whatever. Call it what you want.

Those BASTARDS!! It just makes me SICK I tell ya!! I just wanna KILL every one of them! Not the people holding Dave, the guys who were supposed to come out and trim the tree in my back yard - they just cancelled. DAMN!

I'm married...

I'm perfectly willing to convert...

Oh, the horror, the HORROR!

Breasts are for feeding children and never for sexual pleasure! Oh, why won't the US obey international norms on the proper use of breasts?

[/EUnich]

Man, here in Oregon at least, you can't even pay for such good treatment. No touchy-touchy allowed.

BTW, I'm thinking of starting a bar called "the Gitmo," with lapdaces free to every jihadi, in exchange for information. Surely, if it's such torture, no one will line up for that . . .

This is a VERY good idea.

Dammit! I have to pay extra for that kind of treatment. Fucking terrorists get it for free......she removed her uniform top to expose a tight-fitting T-shirt and began taunting the detainee, touching her breasts, rubbing them against the prisoner's back and commenting on his apparent erection.

...she slowly twirled around the brass pole as the rhythmic beats of Prince's "Darling Nikki" pumped into the isolation chamber...

I can imagine the conversation ... "I will tell the kaafir about the dirty bomb, but please do not bring in the harlot in miniskirt, thong panties, pasties, thigh high boots, and fishnets," said Brer Terrorist.

I am officially submitting my application for the GS-10 position of "Female Harlot Interrogator." My Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities for the positions are as follows:

Knowledge: I am intimately familiar with the male "brain" due to extensive hands-on study and interaction as well as I have pioneered ethnomethodolgy techniques to see the response of the brain to touch.

Skills: Won Ms. Junior Big Boobs in 1999; Went on to win Ms. Big Boobs in 2001; 1st place in Cancun's Sun In The Fun wet t-shirt contest; Hooters Girl; stripper at Camelot until they got sued when a guy claimed I made him "deaf" by doing the classic "breast ear muff" move.

Abilities: Breasts, legs, and nails. Is much more required?

Um, am I nuts --- or do quite a few Muslim leaders have MULTIPLE wives? I am fairly certain that reverence for women is not a KEY component of Islam --- based on how they have this nasty habit of killing rape victims while letting rapists go free.

Does the press ACTUALLY buy this crap? If the most fundamental Christian on Earth made similar complaints, would the media even give the story a half-second of serious coverage?

What is the UK Regime's plan for protecting the citizens from the savage criminals they've foisted on the populace? They offer NONE. They do, however, have a plan for protecting the savage criminals from the citizens: The citizens must STAY CALM and not get angry and not share videos of citizens being attacked by savage criminals.
The public keeps saying "protect us from the foreign savages you have imported against our wishes and over our objections" and the UK branch of The Regime keeps proposing plans to protect the foreign savages from the public. Soclose to what the public is demanding, just, you know, the complete opposite.
Just a thought: Maybe you wouldn't have to worry about the public attacking the savage criminals if you actually introduced a plan to protect the public from the savage criminals. Maybe they wouldn't feel as if it was necessary for them to protect the public through self-help.

Oof. Reviewers do not like Scary Movie 6. The criticism I keep hearing is that the movie mistakes a reference for an actual joke. The movie (they say) keeps Key Jangling a reference to another movie (or some other pop culture ephemera) and you expect there to be a joke but nope, the Key Jangle was the joke. Other reviewers say that the promise that "no lines will be uncrossed" is a fake-out, and that the movie is bland and inoffensively corporate.

Whoops! I posted about Dan Goldman losing the NY congressional primary. He might do that, but it won't be tonight -- the primary isn't held until June 23.

One race to keep an eye on: the Levi's heir nepo baby and egregious "Designated Liar" Dan Goldman -- one of the Democrats from a safe district Democrats send out to spread their most indefensible lies -- may actually lose his lower Manhattan/Brooklyn set due to, get this, antisemitism in the Democrat primary electorate.
Antisemitism? In the anti-Nazi Democrat Party? Sounds crazy, I know, but apparently the anti-Nazi Party wants to eliminate Jews.

Democrat Senator Rueben Gallego, who served his wife with divorce papers when she was nine months pregnant so that he could marry his side-piece, counsels us that we should not judge Graham Platner for his infidelity because these things are personal matters, Racists:

Sahil Kapur
@sahilkapur

Sen. Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., on Platner: "We know that Graham has lived not your typical political experience. He's been very clear and open with his wife, and they worked through whatever they worked through. At the end of the day, this man has had 60 more town halls than Susan Collins has. He's winning the polls, he's willing to accept that he has grown as a person, and I think we should accept that."

Gallego says the drip-drip of revelations won't harm Platner's campaign.

"I think you guys are all in a bubble here right now. The drip, drip that's actually happening is Americans are really, really hurt the fact that gas is still high, food is still high, they can't buy a home, you can't afford rent. They're not going to care about text messages and everything else like that that happened years ago, especially when it was worked out between spouses."

I like that he says that it's okay that Graham Platner sexted 12 different women within months of marrying the woman to sponge off her because he wasn't then "living a political life" -- the clear meaning being, "We all cheat, we just don't cheat when we're running for office, and he didn't know he was running for office when he was sending dicpics to half the women he ran into."
Except he was running: His own wife turned the sexts over to his campaign.
And obviously Reuben Gallego didn't let his "political life" get in the way of his extramarital dating life:
