Gitmo: The Horror Show of Torture & Rights
Violations
February 27, 2009
Wow! I’m sure glad that President Obama had the vision and foresight to
declare, practically the moment he got into the White House that the
detention facility at Guantanamo Bay – Gitmo – must and will close down
within a year. After all, it’s common knowledge that our troops just
love torturing its prisoners making life a living hell for them.
Certainly this is the long held belief, shouted out by our Fifth Column
media and Leftist politicians; that rights are being infringed and
torture abounds for the poor terrorists being held at Gitmo throughout
this war.
Why would our President even give pause when the “verified facts” show
that most of the prisoners that have been released immediately go back
to terrorist organizations and battle against our troops and country? We
all know that that the rude and ugly behavior of the terrorists once
they leave is derived of the “torture” our troops at GITMO have
dispensed; that this is the reason they have to try and kill us
again...so the far Left believes!
Not to confuse anyone with those hateful things – facts – but new
information juxtaposes the far Left portrayal of the Guantanamo Bay
detention facility. It was just released on Monday, an 81- page report
from a special task force ordered up by President Obama to thoroughly
examine Gitmo. Below are just some of the many hideous and evil acts our
troops have participated in. Hold on to your stomach...
The task force found that GITMO was in conformity with Article 3 of the
Geneva Convention.
▪ They keep their thermostat between 75-80 degrees
▪ They provide art classes to the prisoners
▪ They encourage and allow a newsletter for the prisoners
▪ They have over 13,000 books, 900 magazines, 300 DVDs and regular TV
programs
▪ 3 meals a day
▪ Regular Doctor visits if needed
▪ Prayer rugs, Korans and time for religious observance
Shock of all shocks! The prisoners weren’t being tortured but treated
better than US domestic prisoners. Quickly, let’s shut this nightmare
torture place down and distribute these repeat offenders, these killers,
throughout our country. Let’s start with offering them tents on the
White House lawn if President Obama can’t find another suitable place
for them.
I guess my question is this, why would anyone in leadership, with a
brain, in times of war, even consider closing down Gitmo, especially
knowing how many of the released terrorists so far have returned to the
battlefields to attack our troops again? Why, if no verified abuse of
any kind is happening, would this place not be left open?
Finally,
given all the current financial turmoil with regard to our economy and
business failures, why would anyone want to waste the money to reinvent
the wheel as to where to keep these serial killers and enemies? They are
getting fair and generous care already! |
