Lt. Col Vandeveld had been a hard charging Military Prosecutor Hell Bent and making those terrorist PAY - and then he actually arrived at the Guantanamo Bay detention center to deliver Justice, and discovered the shocking truth.
There Ain't No Justice at Gitmo.
For all the Bushies who think that Gitmo should remain open - this former Military Prosecutor explains that the case files are a shambles and that there IS NO EVIDENCE against many who've been held there and mistreated for years - including some who were children (when they entered Gitmo).
Contrast the commentary from Lt. Col Vandeveld concerning the quality of evidence against detainees currently in Gitmo (not to mention the thousands of people being held still at various sites around the world including Abu Ghraib and Bagram AFB) with this clip from O'Reilly where he and his lovely new pet Dennis Miller discuss opening a new amusement park together : Waterboard World.
MILLER: You know, I had a caller on my show, Bill today, the radio show, a guy named A.J. from Milwaukee. He had the best take on this. He said change the public relations of waterboarding, say that people are emitting too much CO2 and when you pour water down their nose, it cuts into their CO2 exhalation.
O’REILLY: So it’s better for the planet.
MILLER: You can call it greenboarding. And we could sell it. Greenboarding! There you go!
Miller concluded the segment by singing to the tune of the Beach Boys’ "Surfin’ USA," — "If everybody had a cheesecloth across the USA."
These guys just don't get it - they really don't. Their little "Yuck Yuck" session is as tasteless as listening to the guards at Buchenwald joking about what temperature the Juden will MELT!
As others, including myself have noted, Waterboarding isn't Simulated anything - it's actual Smothering and Drowning.
When I was a kid, I made the mistake of jumping into the deep end of a public pool before I really knew what I was doing - I DID DROWN. I wouldn't be typing this right now if lifeguards hadn't pulled me out and revived me.
BILL YOU FUCKTARD - THIS SHIT ISN"T FUNNY.
To think hat this is happening to innocent people, including children as Valdeveld describes, some of whom were sold into captivity by their neighbors for a $5000 bounty is a horrific stain on the honor of our nation.
I fully understand the intensity of rage that many people felt after 9-11, but no matter how horrible that and others crimes against humanity have been committed by any terrorist - They Don't Justify This.
