Gitmo Prisoners Garden

by Sean Hackbarth

That horrible, evil Guantanamo Bay prison camp is letting Islamist terrorists garden and watch the occasional tv show:

It is in Camp 4, which is reserved for the most compliant of the prisoners, that the first changes are being brought in. Its roughly 45 detainees – out of a total of 375 still at Guantanamo – have already been allowed to tend a vegetable garden and watch television shows selected by officers. Among them is a documentary show about deep sea fishing off Alaska called The Deadliest Catch. The idea is to provide the inmates, most of whom are accused of ties with al-Qa’ida or the Taliban, with “increased mental stimulation,” Navy Rear Admiral Mark Buzby said this week. Another innovation is the expansion of language classes, both Arabic and English, for detainees who must nonetheless sit in classrooms with one ankle chained to the floor.

Next, we’ll learn the prisoners have TiVo.

Those cruel, heartless American bastards.

Good enough for them but not for Scooter, right? Scooter had his day in court and was found guilty. These prisoners at Gitmo, not so much.

No, please. I don’t need to hear any more hyper-hyperbole about how the Bush administration treats prisioners is destroying America’s soul.
