Title: The most disgusting spin I have seen anywhere
Post by: Art on 11 June, 2006, 11:17:28 PM
The suicides of three detainees at the US base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, amount to acts of war, the US military says.

The camp commander said the two Saudis and a Yemeni were "committed" and had killed themselves in "an act of asymmetric warfare waged against us".

They've managed to top that effort already.

They're now also calling it a 'good PR move'

I'm waiting for the logo re-design and viral marketing campaign.

Notice Bush says he'd like to end Guantanamo now. As if the cunt has no control in the matter!
I suppose they've still got Abu Graib and one in Poland allegedly. And they can still subcontract out to Egypt and Syria. When do the war crimes trials start? Fuckers.

actually he said that on Monday during a speach with the Dutch PM, so it's nothing to do with the suicides.

Actually, he has been pressuring the supreme court to accelerate the process of deciding how clasified evidence can be used in their trials, which has to be done before they can begin. He hopes the trials can take place later this year.

Guantanamo is still an illegal prison trials or no trials, so any contrary arguments are ridiculous.

Is that despite the whole concept of holding someone without trial being illegal in the first place?

It is an affront to everything America pretends to stand for. To whit: freedom of association, freedom of worship, freedom to bo abut your own fucking business in your own fucking country and if there was any actual bona fide proof then maybe there might be a high profile trial or something?

I thought so too, Art.  If Pat Mills wrote something like this, he'd be laughed at
