Nonsense. Close Gitmo, Say UN Panel By Mark Noonan at 12:03 PM Here's the news story: NEW YORK -- A United Nations' inquiry will call for the immediate closure of the U.S. detention center at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and the prosecution of officers and politicians "up to the highest level" who are accused of torturing detainees. The U.N. Human Rights Commission report, to be published this week, concludes that Washington should put the 520 detainees on trial or release them. The report calls for the United States to halt all "practices amounting to torture," including the force-feeding of inmates who go on hunger strike. That last bit there is because anti-Americans around the world need someone to actually die in US custody - its hard to gin up atrocity stories when you've got no corpses, so they'd like us to please stop keeping everyone alive...in fact, if someone would just be kind enough to shoot a prisoner, that would solve all world-wide leftwing problems vis a vis having people in US custody. Now, just who is on the UN's Commission on Human Rights? Glad you asked, because such tribunes of the people as China, Cuba, Egypt, Mauritiana, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Sudan and Zimbabwe are there helping to pass judgement on us...when they aren't massacring their own people, of course. Tell you what: an ad-hoc committee of Noonans has urged the UN to go take a flying leap - and stick their report where the sun don't shine. J.

Mere high school pranks... but you say nothing about the beheadings of innocent people? They would slaughter you and your family just as quickly if they had the chance... you're a complete sap through and through... GZ

Well the UN has a lot in common with Kenneth E. Phillipps. Torturing truth is the normal mode of expression.

The relevant passage: U.S. officials rejected the report, saying it was riddled with errors and treated statements from detainees’ lawyers as fact.
