Gitmo in "Conformity with Geneva Convention"- new report out...


A new report was delivered to the White House this week. The conclusion:
the operation does not torture detainees, and is in accordance with the Geneva Conventions.

In fact, as we have reported before, the detainees have it pretty darn good- better then a lot of Americans have it these days. If you are a terrorist, or are being detained as a suspected terrorist you will have access to the following:

• Library with 13,000 books, 900 magazines, 300 DVDs and regular TV programs
• Detainee newsletter (no joke!)
• Art classes
• treadmill and elliptical machines, soccer, basketball, jogging, table tennis, foosball
• thermostat set between 75 and 80 degrees
• every prisoner has copy of Koran, prayer beads, cap, rug, and current prayer schedule
• access to day room with TV, newspapers, books, magazines, art supplies, board games, hand-held electronic games and puzzles
• 3 hot meals a day between 4,500 and 5,000 calories: 6 menues to choose from (desert included)
• medical care (around the clock)


So while those who took part in murdering, in cold blood, thousands of innocent people, are being treated like kids at summer camp, I wonder how their guys would treat us? Just a question...
