The high-minded critics who complain about torture are wrong. We are far too soft on these guys - and, as a result, aren't getting the valuable intelligence we need to save American lives.
The politically correct regulations are unbelievable. Detainees are entitled to a full eight hours sleep and can't be woken up for interrogations. They enjoy three meals and five prayers per day, without interruption. They are entitled to a minimum of two hours of outdoor recreation per day.
...Call it excessive compassion by a nation devoted to therapy, but it's dangerous....
...Other cells pass messages from leaders in one camp to followers in others. How? Detainees use the envelopes sent to them by their attorneys to pass messages....
...No expense (is) spared for al Qaeda health care...
...Of Gitmo's several camps, military records show that the one with the most lenient rules is the one with the most incidents and vice versa. There is a lesson in this: We should worry less about detainee safety and more about our own...
When these terrorists capture innocent non-military Americans they take care of them by beheading them. When we capture people actively involved in murdering Americans and plotting to destroy our country we give them the royal treatment with full health care. This is outrageous and is endangering innocent American lives. These lawyers and others who think
protecting the rights of terrorists is a higher priority than protecting Americans will have innocent blood on their hands when we get attacked again. Unfortunately I doubt even then they will take this war seriously.
My two kids wake me up multiple times in the middle of the night, I never get a full nights sleep. Up until a year ago I didn't have health insurance and was paying for my health care out of pockett. I am lucky if I get 30 minutes outside a day let alone 2 hours. These guys are living better than me!
Update:
Speaking of the lawyers... Here is what one had to brag about.
'We have over one hundred lawyers now from big and small firms working to represent these detainees. Every time an attorney goes down there, it makes it that much harder to do what they're doing. You can’t run an interrogation and torture camp with attorneys.'http://www.motherjones.com/news/qa/2005/03/ratner.html

That is a really good point. It's funny how sleep and recreation become such a precious commodity when you are a parent. I never would have thought I would value them so much that I would think that someone who was imprisoned, but getting enough sleep and recreation was better off than me, hah. But it does feel that way sometimes now.
