Bush Administration and Myers should spend a week in Guantanmo

[Terran1212]

That would be the perfect solution.

Then they could feel what it is like to be put in the equivalent of a prison camp from hell.

Maybe then they'd develop enough of a backbone to turn to that girly emotion of compassion?

1. They wouldn't. They'd feel pity on (for?) themselves and a

need for revenge...

Shut Guantánamo Down
Tell President Bush to just shut it down.


The Guantánamo Bay prisoner of war camp is a disgrace to all Americans. In a recent report, the International Committee of the Red Cross referred to Guantánamo as the "gulag of our times." Even New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman is now calling on President Bush to tear down the prison.

As Friedman wrote, "Guantánamo Bay is becoming the anti-Statue of Liberty." When it's clear both at home and abroad that the U.S. is responsible for the torture and abuse of prisoners -- including those who have been detained for years without being charged with any crime -- our standing in the world community is irreparably harmed and anti-American passions around the world are inflamed.

The longer Gitmo stands, the more likely it is that innocent Americans citizens will be killed in terrorist attacks. Its very existence helps recruit and inspire foot soldiers in guerilla efforts to harm to Americans in the U.S. and around the world.

President Bush, it's time to close Guantánamo. The hundreds of prisoners currently held there should be tried and convicted or released. And this very site of our national shame should not only be closed, but torn down, its walls plowed into the ground.

For more information read Thomas Friedman's Op-Ed in The New York Times titled: Just Shut It Down.

3. week, hell! 25 to life would be lenient

[Auntie Bush]

4. And he should spend the week there NAKED as a Jay Bird!

But since the emperor has no clothes anyway...it wouldn't make much difference.

5. Only a week in Gitmo? What are you, some kind of liberal softie?

I'd say, give 'em a day for each prisoner held without charge, and a single lash for each instance of torture. Naw, that would be inhumane, even by the standards of the 18th Century.

:hide: :dunce: :+ :hide:

6. Hell, I think they should anyway. Not as a "learning experience", but

because they are criminals and are dangerous to the nation.

7. Yeah maybe they could let us know after their stay just how

absurd amnesty international is.....:mad:
