In the aftermath of the three suicides at the controversial Guantanamo prison facility in Cuba last Saturday, reporters with the Los Angeles Times and the Miami Herald were ordered by the office of Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld to leave the island today.

Problem Fixed!

Whats the matter hmmmmmmmm They don't want the TRUTH OUT huh. Why am I NOT Surprized in the least. These folks can't HANDLE the truth. Typical of this Administration. Quite Typical indeed.

Larry

No messengers...no message. Problem solved.

If you don't see it, it doesn't exist.

Run along now, nothing to see here.

If you happen to detect the scent of burning parchment, don't worry...that's just the Constitution of the United States in flames. Nothing to worry about, just an old piece of paper.

Perhaps if the press did their job in the first place then they wouldn't have their asses kicked out.

It isn't like the press haven't been expelled from places before.

Usually they deserve it.

But Bill O'riely has assured us that everything is fine at Guantanamo. What more reporting could we need????

I don't think this is very fait, but let's not act like not allowing press into Gitmo is going to make everyone forget that it exists.

fair.

Whatever happened to Rummy's embedded reporters?

Sounds like the Press screwed themselves. They should have come to some kind of "pool" agreement amongst each other like they have when high-security top secret clearance trips are made by the POTUS VPOTUS and other administration VIPs.

They should have known that the three suicides would heighten the security concerns and force the DOD to limit the number of civilians and media on the base.

They should have accepted that there would only be three media outlets covering this story and work with them to share the info.

Instead the pressure by the media outlets to be given the same access as those media outlets given the OK forced the DOD to pull the plug on all media coverage in the interest of national security.

We are at war. Gitmo is a military installation housing enemy combatants. And the media may not like being thrown out but they have no constitutional standing in the matter.

If a Gitmo prisoner were to commit suicide alone in the forrest, would anyone hear it?

I am sure that a gitmo prisoner would wait for a reporter to be on hand before he comitted suicide in a forest.

"Gitmo is a military installation housing enemy combatants."

Try reading some of the transcripts from the kangeroo court tribunals of the "enemy combatants" that were released. God help us if our terrorism -er- intelligence agents cant do a better job than when they rounded up those rubes and dirt farmers.

I wish they would let these reporters spend a day with the detainees. No shackles, no guards. They can tell these harmless victims how much they tried to get them released or wrote arcticles claiming how they were tortured and abused. They can remind them of the made up rubbish written by major newspapers who print released prisoners stories of torture and abuses. All the third hand articles true or not as long as they show the prisoners as mistaken fighters on the battlefield.

Of course they would be dead before they could spill their liberal guts out to these so called innocent, mistaken prisoners.

Better check under your bed, Crispee OC, for the scary terrorist too.

"Factual statements" like this are the BREAD AND BUTTER of the REPUBLINAZI'S everywhere. I'll wager there would be several takers by reporters to spend a day or two with these prisoners,alone,unfetered by intrusive guards. But we all know that could NEVER HAPPEN while BUSH

Pan,
Shouldn't you be out protesting somewhere? Isn't there some liberal cause for you to participate in?

Don't take any time reading up on the where abouts of released dirt farmers. Ignore the fact they want to get out and start killing again. Stay in that little box of criticizing anything the US does.

Nice username. Too bad you don't have half the talent she has.

Crispee,
Um, half of Zero talent is still equal talent.

Chump,
They might see how well they are actually treated. They might have to report the average weight gain is about 15 pounds. They would have to report they eat better than the guards who watch over them. They would have to expose how wrong and gullible they have been calling for the closure.

Me: Surely there was an intended point in here somewhere, but I certainly can not seem to find it.

Me: Where did you obtain this information?

It's obvious that they have something to hide. If they are not torturing and exciting detainees why are they so afraid? Like DHS will tell you about wiretapping. "If you are not breaking the law you got nothing to hide." Why are republicans above the law?

Sam,
How many bestsellers have you and Pan written? I don't think I have seen you on any speaking engagements. I guess that is the Republicans fault you aren't being heard.

Crispee, thanks for the compliment. The only talent I share with that c*nt is one I wont discuss in daylight.

(they eat better than the guards who watch over them. )

Once again, INSIDER KNOWLEDGE for a Republican operative with intimate insight to the inner workings at Gitmo !!Tell me crispee, what colors are the BOWEL MOVEMENTS of each individual prisoner? And do they get a Debbie Cake or Jello with dinner?

Pan,
That wasn't a compliment. Just further proof you have to piggyback on someone who has done the work. Kind of like the Democrats.

Chump,
Instead of questioning something you don't agree with take a few seconds and do a search. It is all out there for you and every other bleeding heart liberal. Of course you have to allow facts to get past the hate and stupidity.

Since we're far off subject anyway, what good works have Ms Coulter done lately? We Dems just love her fine job of tarnishing the GOPs Holy Grail, 9/11, by calling the victims wives "professional millionaire crybaby bitches." You go girl!

(How many bestsellers have you and Pan written?)

It is indeed a sad state of public dicourse that a rabid,selfserving partisan
political hack can accumulate so much hyperbolic dung in book form and there's enough Zombies out there who will buy anything attacking people who differ in political oppinion and make it a best seller. This is certainly applicable to the LEFT as well as the RIGHT.I believe it's time these exterme views a put back where they used to be. Outhouses and Whorehouses come to mind.

(Of course you have to allow facts to get past the hate and stupidity)

Well, so far you haven't provided ONE FACT.
I have read YOUR OPINION,your idea of what's happening at GITMO. But if you haven't been there yourself, you're just talking bullshit.And yes it's hard to get past all the hate and stupidity, but the BUSH Administration has plenty of both to go around.

Chump,

Since you won't take the time to look it up yourself. Like always a republican will do the work for you:

For Sunday they're going to be having Orange Glazed Chicken, Fresh Fruit Roupee, Steamed Peas and Mushrooms, Rice Pilaf - we treat them very well," he told Fox.

Last night, Hunter said, the U.S. "torture victims" enjoyed the same kind of gourmet fare, including an entree of "Lemon-baked Fish."

On the other hand, feeding the detainees MREs, the standard fare given to our troops on the front lines, is strictly verboten - considered an "abuse" under restrictions imposed by Congress, Hunter said.

"Like always a republican will do the work for you...crispee_oc"

...and when you've finished with that, the dog needs grooming, the floor needs sweeping, the dishes need washing, and your bedpan needs emptying. When you're finished, report back because a Republican's job, hard werk, is never done.

Nana,
Are you the puppet master for Chump? Or are you just jumping in with another hate the Republicans and Bush?

Like always a republican will do the work for you...crispee_oc"


Me: Thankfully, I don't allow them to balance my checkbook. That would be a disaster.

Crispee...get back to work...and keep whistling...I think it's cute...

I dont know what Fresh Fruit Roupee is but speaking of Orange Glazed Chicken my guess is just for starters theyd prefer not to bake under the southern hemisphere sun without shade on their chicken wire cages ... or least do so in a cooler color than blaze orange.

Me: I don't see how this backs up any of your claims other then what was for dinner one night.

Nana,
Go protest with Cindy Shehag. You have a lot in common.

Coulter is hilarious. If she was an elected politician but she's a satirist and pundit so anything she says is OK by me.

I mean Cindy Sheehan, Michale Moore, Bill Maher Al franken, etc etc use as much over the top hyperbole against Bush and republicans as coulter does, yet the left just chuckles away whenever they open thier mouth.

So coulter makes the right chuckle.

Seems like there is bi-partisan chuckles for everyone.

Don,
Like I posted earlier. You have to let the facts get past the hate and stupidity. Thanks for making my point.

And in the God-less-USA there are laws against same for DOGS.

(they eat better than the guards who watch over them)
This is not the same as this:

(feeding the detainees MREs, the standard fare given to our troops on the front lines)

The "front line" troops are not guarding at Gitmo. Sorry, perhaps you had a "SENIOR" moment,or you don't read your own posts.

(we treat them very well," he told Fox.)

Another example of FOX NEWS being on top of a VERY IMPORTANT story.

(Are you the puppet master for Chump)

No, the only one here with a "stick up his backside" appears to you!

(get past the hate and stupidityPosted by crispee_oc)

Looks to me like you're full of both of them.

Uh oh, somebody didn't get their talking points updated. Zed claims they don't see the light of day.

Why don't you cheesedicks google "the menu at GTMO", it may help you clear things up a touch. Then just compare what the detainees are eating with what you were given when you were in the military....

(what you were given when you were in the military)

FAiry, here we go again. His point was that the detainees were eating better than their guards.Then he went on to site what the "front line" troops were eating and now YOU want to talk about past history. Looks like crispeeboy hasn't quite gotten all the talking points down yet. Penalize him and up his FOX NEWS quota to 25 hrs a day!!

"His point was that the detainees were eating better than their guards."
Ok, so far I'm with you, that was his point.


"Then he went on to site what the "front line" troops were eating and now YOU want to talk about past history."
Ok, I am with the beginning part, he did mention that front line troops eat MRE's (but surely you must remember from your time in the miltary that troops ate MRE's quite often, even when not in any type of a combat zone).
I have no idea what you mean by "now you want to talk about past history".

The rest of your post looks like a psychotic outburst from a pant pisser so I'll let that stand on it's own merits.

"Uh oh, somebody didn't get their talking points updated. Zed claims they don't see the light of day."

Um that would be a figure of speech. You Repugs are just soooo easy to put one over on. Read my bumper sticker: SLOWER MINDS KEEP RIGHT.

The rest of your post looks like a psychotic outburst from a pant pisser

Me: You have to love this irony.

It is about time.
They do not belong there, and with their crap reporting is it any wonder they were thrown out.

I say it is about time.

(Ok, I am with the beginning part, he did mention that front line troops eat MRE's (but surely you must remember from your time in the miltary that troops ate MRE's quite often, even when not in any type of a combat zone).

OK, once more for the retarded. HIS POINT WAS THAT THE PRISONERS WERE EATING BETTER THAN THE GUARDS. If you can prove to me that the guards at GITMO are eating MRE's, SHOW ME THE LINK. As usual for Repub stooges, you gloss over the pertinant facts to make a point.

(psychotic outburst from a pant pisser ,You have to love this irony)

Chairy has once again recognized his reflection in the mirror.

It is about time.

What do you feel that they did not report correctly?

(What do you feel that they did not report correctly?)

Bescuse they didn't hear it on FOX NEWS,the OFFICIAL BUSH PROPAGANDA CHANNEL.

Chairy, still looking for the guards menu at GITMO??

Sorry, I was out eating something much worse than orange chicken.

TuChupa,
What don't you understand dumbass? Surely you remember your days eating MRE's in the military? How could you forget?
Are you trying to tell me that you didn't eat at least 3 or 4 of those per week?
Oh, wait a minute, I get it! You never served! That makes sense, only an ignorant fool would want a link proving a soldier eats an MRE in garrison, in the field, in peacetime, and in combat.
Well, that certainly clears things up.

So, now when soldiers AREN'T eating MRE's at Ft Bragg, Ft Benning, and Camp McCall or any other military post, what do you think the chances are of them eating the same fine dining that the GTMO mutts are eating?...Psssst, slim and none.

The only retard appears to be you chump. Can you f...g read? You ask for some links because you were too lazy to look it up yourself. Then you take something that was pasted and state It was what I claimed.

I stand corrected from earlier. YOU can't let the facts get past the STUPIDITY.

I couldn't agree with you more, Pancunter. (For some reason, I thought you were one of those dumbass conservatives?)

The press doesn't belong in prisons anyway- are they the police now?- they're experts on appropriate interrogation tactics and other matters of prisoner treatment? If they give a damn about treatment of prisoners, they can find alot more prisoner abuse in our prisons here- but since that couldn't be spun as anti-Bush, they have no interest. I agree with Rumsfeld's tactic here- the press is there to help matters, only to snoop and render judgement on a situation they couldn't possibly understand, therefore they are part of the problem, not part of the solution- so keep them away, we have enough problems to deal with.

clarification on a typo from my above post- I meant to say "the press ISN'T there to help matters"...

I don't give a crap if they got tortured or not.

I don't give a crap if they were allowed to pray 17 times a day, given a copy of the Koran, have sandpaper for toilet paper, allowed conjugal visits, W/E.

If they are so dangerous and such terrorists, PUT THEM ON TRIAL FOR ALL THE WORLD TO SEE!! Why can't the admin. do this? Is the reality that their evidence against them is so flimsly that even kangaroo courts (military tribunals) couldn't convict these guys? I'd rather they were all led into the courtyard and put in front of a firing squad than kept in some legal limbo, which is what Gitmo is.

This just makes our country look STUPID and Hypocritical. Evidently its justice for SOME in good ol' U.S. of A. And justice doesn't necessarily mean freedom... I thought I'd specify that for you conservatives who don't seem to know what being brought to "justice" means.

These guys are prisoners of war- this doesn't necessarily make them criminals where a trial would even be relevant (although alot of these guys apparently are) . The correct course of action is to keep them in war prisons until the war is over. Why would you let them out while we're still fighting them?- are you dense?

Shol,
Do you think there is video from the surveilance camera at the local corner store in the mountains?
Do you think they can just got to "Cave #12, Peshar Valley, AFG, 23409-02321" and interview "Mohammed Mohammed" to verify "Mohammed Mohamed's" where abouts on 12 June 2003?...(followed by Mohammed Mohammed saying "What the fuck a June?").

How about this...We run their fingerprints (the ones we found on the AK or RPG)?...What? There isn't any fingerprints on file in Afghanistan for Mohammed Mohammed? Well, let's just run his name through Afghanistans database...No database? Try Yemen's database!...They don't have one either?

I've got an idea, let's turn them over to their country of origin...What? They'll be tortured and killed!?!

Hmmm, what do you suggest Sholar?

101,
They have no suggestions. The foolish politicians who have acted on any article written have been there and have not mentioned another word about closing the base. You hear them on the news when they complain but you don't hear anything when they get back from visiting Gitmo.
Shocking isn't it?

No they are not POW's... They are "enemy combatants". According to the administration. The administration has gone out of its way to make this distinction, because there are certain protections afforded to actual POW's. One of which is a ban on the sort of torture we are carrying out.

Knight,
What f..g torture? Are you referring to the NY Times article written by an ex-detainee?Or is the barber story you are going by? What torture are you trying to expose. Unless you are following like a blind sheep whatever Durbin or Gore or any other pathetic Democrats spew. Oherwise put up or shut up.

These are the worst of the worst and are still giving useful intel which is being used in the field today.

POWs, enemy combatants- whatever. Either way, it doesn't make sense to let them out while you're still fighting them.

Even if they aren't guilty of fighting You ?? WOW

Larry

rumsfeld did LAT readers a favor. the LAT has no credibility in this form of journalism

Rumsfeld is right to kick the press out of Gitmo. If we stick our heads deep enough into the sand we won't have to be bothered by anything. And the world will still love us. And Iraq is now a democracy. La La La La La.

These are the worst of the worst and are still giving useful intel which is being used in the field today.

With statements like this, whose being a sheep?

"Crispee OC" Nice other username Chairpoodle.

When the going gets tough, the tough kick the press out.

Go Republifundies!

The United States of America...The most hated country in the world...and deservedly so...

Expect attacks on America in the future...we invite them

Liberals, lighten up. there's a lot more world out there than George Bush, and as far as gitmo goes...If they don't catch you, it don't count.

Expect attacks on America in the future...we invite them
