Spiral.. Allow me to educate you for a bit.. With some explanation So I don't have to post twice.
About a week ago, a few pictures came out showing the detainees under the custody of America.
These pictures started a huuuge uproar in the media and in Britain... Here's why...
1. They were wearing what the media reported as hoods..
Actually these were snow caps.. woolies.. schnuggies.. whatever you call them, because it was cold on the plane
2. They were wearing earmuffs...
Again, because it was cold, and America didn't want them to freeze, but you couldn't tell what they were from the picture.
3. They were on their knees..
There's no circumstances surrounding this issue.. Perhaps they were praying, but again, there's nothing wrong even if they were on their knees
4. They were chained, Handcuffs or what not...
The liberal Media jumped on this as some sort of extraordinary treatment.. When in actuality, these detainees had already tried to attack the MP's, bitten one of them on their arm, and Threatened to kill the Americans...
Britain executives went into the prison camp the other day and talked to a few British detainees about their conditions, and they said there were no complaints.
Here is a little quote from our extremely geniusical Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld,"
____________
Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld said Tuesday the United States is treating the prisoners at Guantanamo Bay "humanely," and in accordance with Geneva Conventions.
"No detainee has been harmed. No detainee has been mistreated in any way," the defense secretary said in Washington.
The detainees are receiving "warm showers, toiletries, water, clean clothes, blankets, regular, culturally appropriate meals, prayer mats, and the right to practice their religions," in addition to medical care, writing materials and visits from the International Red Cross, Rumsfeld said.
Rumsfeld said critics were not taking into account the danger detainees pose to military guards. He said that one detainee at Guantanamo has threatened to kill Americans, and another has bitten a U.S. military guard.

I think what people don't understand is just how mean, evil, and well.. shitty these people are.. they want to kill each and every one of us.. Whether it be by smashing a baseball bat over our head.. slamming a plane into your house, or blow a puff of anthrax into your face.. They are being treated accordingly..
They have their basic human rights, they have their dignity... Chain link fences are present so as to keep the Americans safe.. And that is the first priority.. they are being more than accomodated due to the danger they present our men.
Someone above posted how that 'Real life doesnt occur in this forum'.. I think we all realize that.. This is just a place to discuss it.. talk about what's happening in the real world.. I'm expecting to see a petition up soon headlined by you to Get rid of this forum..cuz Apparently.. .this forum is worthless.
