Also, this meal should really be the first meal of the day; not only would that be healthier, it would indeed be more 'culturally appropriate' for these men to have their first meal of the day consist of rice and beans, which is the morning meal of the majority of the people on this planet. It is only Westerners, and especially Americans, who think of breakfast in terms of toast and coffee or a danish and orange juice... >Breakfast followed by shower opportunity and personal time >Doctor visits to address any medical issues >Lunch followed by shower opportunity and personal time "Personal time" -- euphemism for "solitary confinement".... >The typical weather, notes the Post: "Sunny with temperatures ranging from 72 >degrees at night to around 82 degrees maximum during the day." That describes the averarage temperature in Cuba in January; I notice that those who tout this prison as a type of Club Med most pointedly avoid discussing the HUMIDITY, and one can glean that the humidity is indeed uncomfortable in the fact that it is stated that the prisoners are allowed 2 showers a day, which is unprecedented in most prisons. Also avoided is the subject of what the temperature (and humidity) will be like most of the year; it's relatively comfortable December thru March, but gets mighty hot (and even higher humidity) April thru November. Also avoided is the subject of how these prisoners avoid being subject to the elements, especially tropical storms; it will be interesting to see what happens at Guatanamo June thru October, hurricane season...will the prisoners be made to stay in their outdoor kennels during a hurricane or tropical storm? <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/";>www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
