More Guantanamo Nutiness
Look at the latest news from our "gulag" in Cuba:
"Three suicides at the U.S. detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, may have been part of a broader plot by detainees who were using confidential lawyer-client papers and envelopes to pass handwritten notes their guards could not intercept, according to documents that government lawyers filed yesterday in federal court" (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/07/07/AR2006070701590.html).
In other words, the ridiculous level of civil liberties that we are granting to these non-uniformed combatants whose primary goal in life is to kill me allowed those suicides to happen the way they did. Are we serious here? We can't read notes that terrorists are writing to each other? And this is a gulag? This is the most retarded, stupid crap I've ever seen. And everyone from Human Rights Watch to the ACLU to The Economist (usually pretty sane) talks about how awful Guantanamo Bay is? Has everyone in the world gone completely and totally insane? I can't even think straight when I see things like this. Either I'm crazy or the whole Western world has lost its mind. This is just nuts.
Oh, side question: Who the %&$* cared about those suicides? Why did anyone care? The instant that I heard that those people had killed themselves, my instant reaction was: good riddance. What the hell is wrong with people? Sometimes, I really feel like I'm the only sane person living in a world of absolute and utter insanity.
