X-Ray Vision

In case you haven’t heard, the media and a bunch of Senate weasels are publicly clamoring for the closure of prison camp X-Ray at US Naval Station Guantanamo Bay Cuba.

“Over the weekend, Sen. Mel Martinez (R-Fla.) said Bush should consider closing the Guantanamo Bay base, and Sen. Chuck Hagel (R-Neb.) cited controversy at the prison as one reason the United States is "losing the image war around the world." Democrats and some human rights groups have offered harsher assessments. The Guantanamo Bay prison, along with last year's Abu Ghraib prison scandal in Iraq, "is a national disgrace, an international embarrassment to us and our ideals, and a festering threat to our security," Sen. Patrick J. Leahy (D-Vt.) said in a floor speech yesterday.”

I just have one question for Messeurs Martinez, Hagel, and Leahy:

WHAT THE HELL ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DO WITH THE TERRORISTS, INSURGENTS, AND ARMED COMBATANTS (you pick your own term) CURRENTLY HELD AT GITMO?

Hey Mel, how about us closing Abu Grab-ass in Iraq and Gitmo in Cuba and building a new prison in the location of the critics’ choosing. It will have free camel parking, satellite TV, a health club, hot and cold running Korans, Arab Virgins on five foot centers, and no one will have to do anything they don’t want to do—ever—for the rest of their miserable Arab Jihadist lives.

We’ll conduct interrogations using words like “pretty please” and “mother may I” and we’ll patiently wait until our swarthy middle-eastern guests feel compelled to talk and potentially give us information critical to our national defense. Most of all, we will sweat and fret and wring our hands, having conniption fits of worry over our image with the socialists and communists in France, Germany, and Italy.

Then, will the media, the pacifists, and Senators Martinez, Hagel, and Leahy be happy?

No?

Of course not, because they will just start criticizing the next facility because they really aren’t against prison abuse, they are against the WAR ON TERROR.

Senators Martinez, Hagel, and Leahy are pompous, arrogant, useless, vote whores that don’t have enough spine to finish anything that they start. They couldn’t care less about the ramifications of their criticisms, they are just trying to get “ahead of the curve” by predicting the failure of US intelligence efforts.

If they are so concerned about the well being of these "detainees" why don't they each move couple of "insurgents" into their home and buy them a case of box cutters..see how innocent they really are.

Morons...
