Senator: 9/11 Hijackers Spared Horrors of Gitmo Satire from ScrappleFace by Scott Ott (2005-06-15) -- Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-VT, said today that Muslims around the world, traumatized by accusations of Koran mishandling and severe interrogations of suspected terrorists at a U.S. military detention center, can at least find comfort in knowing that the 9/11 hijackers were "spared the horrors of Gitmo." The Senator said he hoped his comments, during Republican Sen. Arlen Specter's hearings into policies and procedures at the Guantanamo Bay detention center, "would help heal wounds and win hearts on the Arab street." "Even though the 19 alleged 9/11 terrorists never got a fair trial in a court of law," said Mr. Leahy, "at least they escaped the discomfort, shame, humiliation and almost-unbearable inconvenience of imprisonment at Gitmo." The Vermont Democrat noted that, "If the hijackers had miraculously walked away from the smoldering ruins of the World Trade Center and Pentagon they would have been subjected to indignities and injustice that make America the shame of the civilized world." scrappleface.com
