CNN: Rep. Hunter refutes Gitmo torture with chicken dish - (VIDEO)
June 12, 2005

Video - CNN: Gitmo torture claims refuted with chicken dish

Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-CA) refutes claims of torture at Guantánamo Bay while displaying various foods.

"So the point is that the inmates in Guantánamo have never eaten
better, they've never been treated better and they've never been
more comfortable in their lives."

4. This is hilarious!!
I feel so much better now. All the documented abuse perpetrated by US military personnel against prisoners at Guantanamo Bay and elsewhere becomes irrelevant in light of these wonderful meals!!!

What an asshole.

7. At least we feed them well
WTF? What about the abuses you moron Hunter.

What a pile of crap!

All at the expense of the American Tax Payer, make sure you repeat that time and time again, these killers are eating well at the expense of the tax payer.

8. And he would know this how?
Somehow I don't think ole Hunter has spent much time studying the lifestyles and diets of these inmates.

And why am I reminded of Coors and what he said back in the 80s about African Americans needing to be grateful for being brought to America as slaves?

11. This has caused me so much confusion.....
who should I believe, the prisoners who have said they are tortured or my government who would never ever lie to me. Rep. Hunter is a vile and disgusting man.

13. "I spent the next three years in a POW camp"
"...forced to subsist on a thin stew of fish, vegetables, prawns, coconut milk, and four kinds of rice. I came close to madness trying to find it here in the States, but they just can't get the spices right."

-Principal Skinner, on his stay at the Hanoi Hilton.
