Brit wanker denigrates Club Gitmo

Daily Mail on Sunday:

The sands are white, the sea laps gently and crowds of bronzed Americans laze in the Caribbean sunshine.

They have a cinema, a golf course and, naturally, a gift shop stocked with mugs, jaunty T-shirts and racks of postcards showing perfect sunsets and bright green iguanas.

Only the barbed wire decoration, a recurring motif, hints at anything wrong.

Welcome to "Taliban Towers" at Guantanamo Bay, the most ghoulishly distasteful tourist destination on the planet.

As these astonishing mementoes show, the US authorities are promoting the world's most notorious prison camp as a cheap hideaway for American sunseekers – a revelation that has drawn international anger and condemnation.

Just yards from the shelves of specially branded mugs and cuddly toys, nearly 300 "enemy combatants" lie sweltering in a waking nightmare.

It is six years since foreign prisoners, many captured in Afghanistan, were first taken to this US-occupied corner of Cuba. Yet even now, no charges have been brought against them.

While the detainees lie incarcerated, visitors can windsurf, take boat trips and go fishing for grouper, tuna, red snapper and swordfish.

The United States' 1.5million service personnel and Guantanamo's 3,000 construction workers are eligible to visit the "resort", which boasts a McDonald's, KFC and a bowling alley.

They even have a Wal-Mart supermarket.

...

Notice the bogus assumption that the inmates at Club Gitmo are entitled to be charged with something. In fact they have been charged with being unlawful enemy combatants who violated the Geneva Conventions and are therefore not entitled to be treated as POWs. Under the law of wars the US could probably summarily execute them, but has found it in its interest not to.

They should be held until the end of the conflict if they live that long. There have already been examples of those released returning to the battle and killing innocent civilians and other non combatants. Only a few days ago one of the released terrorist exploded himself in Mosul. Too bad this wanker was not close enough to see the out come of her misguided sympathy for the enemy.

There are certainly worse places to be held than in the Caribbean. The writer is really offended by the souvenirs. She needs to get a life. If she doesn't like them no one is forcing her to buy one. This is what happens when liberalism is not tempered with a challenge to its premises.
