I wonder how Americans would feel if their soldiers were kept like the Al Qaeda POW's Support Apolyton, buy Civilization 2

Have you seen that set up in Cuba? They are keeping the prisoners in what looks like dog kennels.

Imagine if American soldiers were held like that by Taliban. The U.S. media would be screaming. Just one photo of a blind folded and chained U.S. soldier would be enough.

This is really hurting U.S. credibility around the world. We know what is being fought against but one wonders what is being fought for! So much for the human rights of the POWS!

The U.S. btw, is now the only Western country that still claims these prisoners aren't POW's. The U.S. is looking ever more ridiculous claiming otherwise.

They will already, so Al-Quaida prisoners are better off than US prisoners in the hands of terrorists.

NO! But it doesn't matter what I want. Reality is what matters.

The Al Queda are not soldiers, they're ****ing terrorists. You think they're gonna be checking Geneva convention rules on how to treat POWs? I don't think so. Remember what happened to the US soldiers captured in Somalia? These *******s have no respect and no honor as soldiers. They are the scum of this planet and they should be goddamned greatful that they are in the custody of a country that has some value for basic human rights.

They ****ing rammed jetplanes into buildings packed with civilians. Yeah, if it were up to me, I'd blow every last one of 'em away.

Didja see the pictures of the American pilots in the Gulf War that had their faces pounded on?

Some of those guys looked so weak after being put through some torture. I thought they were going to pass out. Though being tough Americans, they survived it.

Most will probably be put behind bars thru tribunal for 20-30 years. Some may be put to death, if we found they resisted us in anyway. Others will be let go.

Looks just like the way the North Vietnamese and North Koreans treated your airmen. I now assume you thought that was okay.

I know some former POW's of the North Vietnamese.

You can't even begin to compare the treatment they received to the coddling these mother****ers are getting in what is still a temporary facility for the next three months while a permanent facility is being built.

And these self-proclaimed bad boys are not POWs to anyone who counts - they're in that verminous range between mercenaries and terrorists, and are sworn to kill Americans if they get the chance - hardly the type of "typical" security risk that is presented by the average POW.

Considering the temperature range in Cuba, their conditions aren't particularly bad - WTF do you want, wood paneling, air conditioning and stained glass? Mother****ers are lucky they simply didn't get dropped out the rear cargo door midway over the Atlantic - so I guess they must either have some intel value, or we're nice guys after all.
