Red Fatherland general sez they are just helping detainees stay alive.
When the Chinese do it, it is torture.
When the United States does it, magically it becomes "humane".
The moral cretin in charge of Southern Command,
Bantz J. Craddock, says Gitmo "doctors" had been indulging hunger-striking detainees, letting them "choose the color of their feeding tubes" and generally acting like a bunch of terrorist-loving wimps. It was time, said General Ripper--uh--Craddock, to make going without food "inconvenient" for the detainee scum. So, they made them sit in a chair. A chair. Big deal!! I'd like to sit in a chair. Wouldn't you? What's the problem? After all, "Military officials have said the tough measures were necessary to keep detainees from dying." See? What humanitarians the Gitmo torturers are! I think I see a
prize in their futures.
And check this out:
"I want to extend my personal gratitude to you all and give thanks to the many dedicated men and women of the US Southern Command for the work you are doing to protect and defend the citizens of our great Nation. In this spirit, I wish each and every one of you and your families a Happy Thanksgiving."
And they were all sitting in chairs I'll bet. And happy as a turkey about it.
Yeah, we should all send General Craddock a thank-you and "Heckuva Job, Craddy" for his ongoing efforts to protect and defend Americans from those stinking starving prisoners in Gitmo.
Makes you want to fly the flag, sing "Horst Wessel", and get a BIG bacon-cheeseburger for lunch, huh? And with luck, they'll have the feeding-tube special on.
