Guantanamo Prisoners Abusing Guards

This is unbelievable: Insight Magazine, a conservative publication of the Rev. Moon's Washington Times, is reporting that "al Qaeda" inmates are abusing military personnel at the U.S. detention facility in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and the military personnel are not allowed to respond. Moreover, the military personnel nonetheless must meet the religious, cultural, health, and entertainment needs of the inmates. Believe it or not, they've even been forced to provide "Harry Potter" in Arabic. Oh, the horror! Give me an a round of anal probing with a light stick any day over that.

Forget all about the abuses Coalition forces have inflicted on prisoners at Guantanamo Bay, because what is really important here is that the prisoners are now throwing feces at soldiers, spitting at them, and calling them names. But never fear, the guards "maintain a professional attitude in the face of provocations by al Qaeda inmates."

"It's humiliating," the guard said. "A guy throws feces on you, and you've got to turn right back around and walk down a block that might have 40 people on it. They're making their little comments, and you go home and you change and you come back to work. Take a shower. Go to medical, get your screening."

Fortunately, we now have a brand spanking new $37 million prison over there that has been specially designed to prevent the travesty of guard abuse by prisoners. I wonder if it works the other way around, too.
