Sympathy for the Devils
My heart is absolutely broken.
MIAMI (Reuters) – Former Guantanamo prisoners released after years of detention without charge went home to find themselves stigmatized and shunned, viewed either as terrorists or U.S. spies, according to a report released on Wednesday.
The report by human rights advocates urged U.S. President-elect Barack Obama to form an independent, nonpartisan commission with subpoena powers to investigate the treatment of U.S. detainees in Afghanistan, Iraq and the Guantanamo Bay U.S. Navy base in Cuba.
I don’t imagine that any of those soft-hearted dolts have read Lesson Eighteen of the Islamist handbook entitled “Military Studies in the Jihad Against the Tyrants” and if they had, it wouldn’t matter to them anyhow. They’ve chosen their side against the nation that has waged the most humane war in the history of the planet.
Rest assured that if the positions were reversed, the only mercy they’d get from the Islamists would be a sharper knife sawing off their heads.
I hope that President Obama does not take them up on their offer, though I suspect that he might. I’d love to see him tell them in no uncertain terms to pound sand, but that would alienate far too many of his terrorist friends and anti-war supporters. I’ll take a polite refusal, though, slathered with enough BS to give him the political cover he’ll require.
