Many Moose, you wrote, in three separate posts, the following about the long term prisoners at our Gitmo facility:

We treat them like kings, relative to the way they treat our POWs....

The detainees at Gitmo, as you know, were given good, culturally correct food, given time to pray, exercise, study the Koran, and every amenity imaginable. They are due no apologies.....

They attack us again because they hate us, and we made the mistake of not killing them instead of giving them three Islamic squares and a prayer rug.


Are you really so incapable of empathy that you cannot fathom the misery they suffer when we deprive them of their freedoms of association, travel, speech, right to worship in the company of their fellow believers and when we remove them from their families, friends and communities?

And all that without affording them the basic rights to hear the charges against them, face their accusers, test the evidence and, at the least, put a certainty to the duration of their imprisonment.

Wait, I forgot, you'd like to spare them all of that misery, i.e.; "we made the mistake of not killing them instead of giving them three Islamic squares and a prayer rug."

Yeah, the world would be a better place if a proud moose hunter like you could add your voice to the voices of the Palin, Cheney, Bush and Bolton's of the world.

Many Moose, my ass. Ed
