Links are my choice, but do not necessarily reflect my opinion. I often link to articles, sites and blogs with which I disagree. I try to look at all sides, but the fact that I'm human makes it impossible for me to view anything completely objectively. | Monday, 21 Jan 2002Tired of hearing itNote to the rest of the Anglosphere, who seem to be worried about whether we care about your opinion of our treatment of prisoners. Yes, we care -- possibly more than you know. The thought of terrorist attacks on any of you (as well as attacks on us) worries us greatly. That is why we are doing what we are doing. Got that? Ok, now calm down. You are just going to have to live with the fact that we care more about your lives than your opinions. And another thing... those so-called "cages" are temporary cells. They will be building a real prison in Gauntanamo. Now, shall we take up the condition of American prisoners in the prisons in countries accusing us of human rights violations? No? I thought not. Short Stuff
By George, at least somebody's got it! Seems there's a group in South Florida that is teaching people how to deal with terrorist attacks. Good show, but why is no one in the US encouraging and publicizing such things? This is exactly the sort of stuff we all need to know... and do! Feeling blue Teal blue, that is. I've been out painting trim on my house (this is the way I celebrate holidays...). I do look good in teal, but not in large teal patches. So, do you all think I should go bathe in paint-remover or just paint the whole body blue? Will my next door neighbors' property values go right down because the family next door is blue? Much Ado About Nothing It seems that the prisoners in Guantanamo Bay are being well treated. The British officials report that the British Al Qaida suspects have "no complaints". It seems that the pictures that were sending the press ballistic were taken shortly after the prisoners arrived, and that the goggles and earmuffs were used on the flight. You might; however, note that the BBC is still calling the prison cells "cages", which shows that their bias remains undimmed by facts. | |
