Brumar, don't jump to conclusions with Bucky.
He is no kneejerk anything - and will speak his mind on either side of the issue.

I disagree many times with him politically, but he is just pointing out that the new allegation add fuel to the fire.

And, don't jump to the kneejerk conclusion yourself that just because a detainee said it happened - that it definitely didn't.

"The guards dance around when the detainees are trying to pray. The guards still do these things," the FBI agent wrote.
