Dave, you obviously didn't read the excerpt about the start of Dachau and who was first in. It was nothing to do with race [or religion]. Your challenge, if you wish to learn something, is to find out who were the first 3000 clients of Dachau. The charter document established for whom it was originally intended. These things grow like Topsy, like all government programmes. Pretty soon, the Jews were being piled in too and the crematoria were being increased.

There was a remarkable parallel to the USA reasons for keeping the "terrorists" off the streets.

Since you have forgotten, the purpose of habeas corpus is to check that the guys are actually very bad guys. Do you know what habeas corpus means? How do you know the very bad guys aren't just innocent people? Have you heard the expression "innocent until proven guilty"?

<Call it whatever you want, the terrorists at Guantanamo are there for a valid reason and will eventually receive justice. If that means some of them get out, they get out. The rest? Now just why was it you care?>

Another challenge for you is to figure out why people around the world do care more than a smidgeon what the USA gets up to with aliens who seem to have no human rights. It's quite a mental challenge, so get a nice cup of tea and see if you can work it out.

I guess you are living in a cave and haven't heard that even some Americans are a little bit concerned that prisoners have been treated in a slightly less than idealistic way. Have you heard of gooks and what that expression implies? How about the expression niggers? That one should ring some bells in regard to human rights.

How do you know the terrorists [snicker] are at Guantanamo Bay concentration camp for a valid reason? How do you know they are terrorists? Your definition of the word terrorist would be interesting.

I'm starting to understand why Americans are bewildered and plaintively ask "Why do they hate us?" Stupidly figuring "Oh, it must be because we are rich and free". "Yes, that's it, they hate us because of our freedom".

Why do you think they don't hate Japanese? Do you think they are out to get the Swiss who are definitely rich and seem to be free enough? They seem to reserve hatred especially for the USA. What a puzzle. Why on Earth would that be? I guess it's just one of the great imponderables of life and because they are crazy eh? Canada even gets away with having the same accent - no Islamic Jihad hatred for them by the look of it.

But never mind all that political nonsense, wasn't that a riot to see the towelhead's little dick, and stacking them up like that? Hey, those terrorists asked for it and they need a poke in the bum! That'd make them talk. Anyway, once we win their hearts and minds and tell them who's going to run the show and which USA companies get the oil concessions, things will settle down and we'll be able to buy a Big Mac in Tikrit.

Prisoner 13077, one of the naked 7, seems to have been punished for attacking another prisoner accused of giving information to the Cow questioners, according to CNN.
