Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Sunday, May 24, 2009

The New York Times last night joined the parade of news organizations credulously reporting the utterly undocumented claims of Bush Defense Department holdover officials that large numbers of released former Guantanamo detainees had "returned to terrorism or militant activity."

The story indicates that the Times has seen a copy of the report. But had Times Pentagon correspondent (and Condee Rice biographer) Elizabeth Bumiller seen any names? Apparently, 74 detainees are claimed to have returned to "the fight" (up from the 5, 7, 10, 12, 31, 61, and other unsupported totals the military has issued over the years).

Well gosh, dhimmi dummy, of course numbers of identified terrorists increase over time as more are identified as having returned to terrorist activities. Do you think there is a sign-in sheet? Do you think it's not a process cumulatively adding numbers?

Oh, then again, you do probably think so. For a moment, I'd forgotten that you're a leftist, who "ex officio" of that office, functions with compromised thinking ability.

The numbers of detainess who "returned to the battle" is a lie?

No shiat, Sherlock.

Wot gave you the first clue?

A so far non-existent report that has been put out into the ether as a selective leak by ass-covering BushCo appointees?

Good clue.

Included: three English detainees whose "militant" activity was participating in the making of Michael Winterbottom's movie The Road to Guantanamo and seeking damages for their torture in U.S. courts, and five Uighurs, shipped off to Albania to forestall a court hearing on their release in 2006 and living in a run-down refugee camp there, whose crime was to complain to Tim Golden of the same New York Times about their miserable condition

The three English detainess have an interesting story to tell about how "a funny thing happened on the way to Gitmo..."

Essentially they were picked up with a bunch of other low level suspects and tossed in the back of a truck with metal panles and no windows. Like Jews on their way to Auschwitz their were no stops for food or water or bathroom facilities. In the intense heat people began passing out, some even died. The three Englishmen survived by licking condensation off the side of the truck. At one point the fact that the people in the back of truck were either dead or dying was presented to an officer in charge. He took an AK-47 and blew some airholes into the truck. Didn't bother taking the prisoners out first, of course. More dead than alive when they got to their first stop on their road to Gitmo.

In your name.

/Hey, Spud didn't say it was the good kind of "funny".

Be Well.
