Time for a little Rush humor on the subject :) http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/home/daily/site_061405/content/truth_detector_2.guest.html REID: From the time of Abu Ghraib, this country has been embarrassed -- and, by [sic -- in] many minds, humiliated -- and Guantanamo is just another series of problems that we have with the whole Iraq policy. RUSH: Wrong, Dingy Harry. Senator Reid, it is you and your fellow Democrats who are humiliated this country by giving aid and comfort to our enemies. You are the ones who are humiliating this country. G'itmo and Abu Ghraib, have not humiliated the country. Americans are not humiliated about this. You acting humiliated and upset and apologetic for it all over the world are accomplishing what you fear. You are humiliating the country. It's just... By the way, there was a piece today. Some guy who writes for -- where did this appear? It might have been the LA Times guy who writes for Slate. I don't remember his name. His point was, "G'itmo, that's Club Med compared to other US prisons." He said, "The prison at Bagram and a couple of others is worse than anything, and we really gotta close them all. We gotta shut them all down. We gotta reform the whole prison system, because G'itmo is actually not the worse of them all, but reporters aren't allowed in these other places, and because reporters aren't allowed in these other places, they just don't know but it's real mean. There's one on Diego Garcia that is really, really bad, and the one at Bagram Air Force Base in Afghanistan that's really, really bad." I don't know. If the reporters can't get in, you tell me. I don't know how they know, either. In fact, folks, I'm going to tell you something. For you evangelical Christians and white Christians and you Republican Christians, after everything I heard yesterday from Duncan Hunter about G'itmo, we may want to go there. Actually want to go there. You can post the Ten Commandments on the wall, look at the food they're serving down there, and you can pray forgive times a day, can have church service, all that, I mean you can do all kinds of things at G'itmo that you can't do in this country. Religiously, I mean. I mean G'itmo may be a great vacation spot for oppressed Christians in the United States. Head down there and be free to practice your religion. We need to look at this through a different prism. Here's more of Pat Leahy. Senator Depends took to the Senate floor yesterday to say that G'itmo is a threat to our security. LEAHY: Guantanamo Bay, in addition to Abu Gareeeb, is a national disgrace and international embarrassment to us, to our country's ideals. It's also a festering threat to our security. RUSH: This is an absolute joke. Okay, they're on the same page -- and what's happened here, folks, is that the talking point has gone out; all the faxes have gone out to these people, and they're just not going to get off of this, G'itmo, Guantanamo Bay, Abu Ghraib, what have you. Now, let's move on to Duncan Hunter. This was after the program yesterday, and this was going on about the same time that the media was buzzing, buzzing, buzzing, about the upcoming Jackson verdict and so you probably haven't seen this. You probably haven't heard about this. Yesterday we had audio sound bites for you of Duncan Hunter, Armed Services Committee chairman in the House of Representatives. He's from California, and he was talking about the menus down there, how great the food is at G'itmo. Well, yesterday he speaks about the need to keep open the prison at G'itmo, gives examples and samples of the food served to the prisoners. He actually set a table for the media of the actual food that we are giving prisoners down there. We have a couple of sound bites. HUNTER: I've got two of the entr�es. One is the oven fried chicken, right here. This is the oven fried chicken entr�e. It has broccoli, it has peas and mushrooms, it has rice and it has pita bread, and it has two types of fruit. This is what Osama bin Laden's bodyguards will eat several times a cycle, several times a week. This is lemon chicken, rice, broccoli, carrots, bread, and two types of fruit. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:160984 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
