Not to pollute your commentary with a movie quote, but I can't help thinking about that bureaucrat from "Raiders of the Lost Ark" who told Indiana Jones that they had "top men" looking at the Ark. When pressed for more details, he just repeated the phrase "TOP.....MEN".

Now that I think about it, sealing the top Al Quaeda in crates & then storing them in an e-fuckin-normous government warehouse might be just the thing for this type of work. After all, it's pretty damn hard to pee on a Koran or any other religious parephenalia when it's sealed in bubble wrap & plastic shrink wrap, then nailed into a wooden crate.

Yeahp, that's why I said "top men."

"Lower level detainees"? This guy was the twentieth hijacker! I think this is as good as it gets.

Here's my take.

Stop the planet of the apes - I want to get off! Dear sweet Jeebus. When and where exactly did I step into the Twilight Zone and get deposited into a Monty Python skit? Can we get the Spanish Inquisition in there to make these scumbags sit in the dreaded Easy Chair of Comfort whilst they poke at them with the pointy cushions?

Considering this guy was part of the 9/11 plot, his treatment was criminally lenient.

This is the most offensive story, well, ever.

Let me see. If I had to choose between having to serve time at Gitmo or Angola, Folsom, etc. , Gitmo would be my choice by a large, large margin. Partly because I just love lemon chicken.

Military recruits are treated more harshly in boot camps.

Come to think of it, I got smacked and pushed occasionally by my coaches during football practice.....in jr high school.

Where's Jack Bauer when you need him? He works one day a year and that's it?

Un-fucking-believable. In high school football, my team was not given water while practicing in 90+ heat for hours. In boot camp, my platoon had to roll down a hill until the majority of us puked because two clowns were talking during chow. Where the hell was Time then? Funny, we have teenagers who routinely take more abuse everyday in this country playing sports or performing military training, and these insufferable chickenshit reporters get weepy over this murderous terrorist bastard not getting his naps in. Has it come to this? Are we so soft-hearted and mush-headed as a nation that maniacs are entitled to better treatment than college lacrosse players? Where are the adults in the media; the ones with an ounce of common sense and a complete set of testicles? Christ on a crutch, we are simply not serious about winning this thing.

"There is a point in the history of society when it becomes so pathologically soft and tender that among other things it sides even with those who harm it, criminals, and does this quite seriously and honestly."

Friedrich Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil, (Kaufmann trans.) Sec. 201.

Is it our society, or just the louder (well-megaphoned) elements?

They performed a puppet show? A fucking puppet show?!!

I wonder if Time is looking into the torture being perpetrated on children at schools and libraries all over America on a daily basis.

TIME is not even fit to have its pages torn out and used for toilet paper and has not been for quite awhile.
