| Hicks Sez He Was Offered A Hooker At Gitmo |
| 2004-12-10 |
| Terror suspect was offered prostitute Ah, Rooters - a claim stated as bald fact. How, uh, Rooterish. An Australian terror suspect was offered the services of a prostitute by the U.S. military if he agreed to spy on other detainees held at the Guantanamo Bay base in Cuba, according to court documents. Again, not a claim, but presented as fact since they decline to indicate the "documents" are, in fact, merely Hicks' claims as he wiggles and squirms trying to escape the facts. Rooters is as low as it goes. In an affidavit unsealed by a U.S. District Court and seen by Reuters on Friday, David Hicks, a 29-year-old convert to Islam, said he was also beaten while blindfolded and handcuffed, threatened with weapons and had his head rammed into asphalt. Reminded him of his rave days back in Oz. Hicks was arrested in Afghanistan in late 2001 and was among the first small group of Guantanamo Bay detainees to be charged. He has pleaded not guilty to aiding the enemy, attempted murder and conspiracy to commit war crimes. He's innocent, of course - he was vacationing and chasing Taleban wymyns. The AK and RPG were gifts from satisfied girlfriends. They called him "Spanky the MinuteMan" but no one knew exactly why... until... "Interrogators once offered me the services of a prostitute for 15 minutes if I would spy on other detainees. I refused," Hicks said in the affidavit, which is dated August 5 and witnessed by his U.S. military lawyer Major Michael Mori. Hey, it's no wonder he refused! 15 minutes??!! What sort of man do they take him for?! He's a minuteman and proud of it! |

| #21 I'm still sceptical. Co-incidentally I have been to the nearest city and driven around this part of Cuba. Gitmo wasn't even marked on the Cuban map. Can someone who has been to Gitmo confirm (or otherwise) that Cuban civilians don't get into the base. |

| #20 Of course it was torture. They threatened to have a woman touch him in evil ways. |

| #17 phil_b, Put a military post on an oil platform in the middle of the ocean and hookers would still be able to infiltrate it. Hell, they'd probably be there before the first troops arrived waiting to ambush them. I'm pretty sure that Spec Forces are required to study their tactics. As the story goes, Gen. Hooker didn't even bother trying to get rid of prostitutes, he just organized them in true military fashion. |

| #16 I'd be pissed if we didn't pound this asshole's head into the pavement. Heck if getting a prostitute in helps turn these idiot's I'm all for it. Prostitutes cheap, lives expensive methinks. |

| #14 Alas, once again I have been left out of the loop due to the silencing of a troll. I seem to always come into these discussions late after the comments have been removed and miss out on all the fun. But then again, its always the same line, just different spelling and punctuation. |

| #13 I think our #1 poster's final point is actually a very good one. "IF YOU DO NOT LIKE AMERICA GO BACK TO YOUR SHITTY COUNTRY" |

| #12 Of course, Frank, that's the traditional way to learn to be light on your feet. *obligatory mutter of 'What do they teach young people nowadays?!?'* |

| #8 At the risk of stating the blinding f***king obvious. Where do you find a hooker in a US military base completely cutoff from the surrounding civilian population. |

| #7 Aahhh , long time since I have seen a pure blood Neanderthal . He can say what he likes but that caps lock has to go :P |

| #6 MacNeils and Ed, Calm down, I think we have here a rare post by a true Neanderthal (of the Borrisoid type). Just lean back and relish each misspelled word. Chortling is permitted. |

| #5 To the first poster , caps lock is located near your little finger on your left hand , and a spell checker can be located here . I also suggest a course in winning friends and influencing people along with maybe one in anger management . |

| #4 Can't the Reuter's editors get anything right? The corrected copy: Hicks Offered To Be A Hooker At Gitmo An Australian terror suspect has offered his services as a prostitute in a continuation of his Islamic duties learned in Pakistan, where he dutifully bent over five times a day for his Learned Elders of Islam. Hicks was quoted as saying, "At first I was afraid, but soon became a labor of love." JEWINDUIST? Give an ignoramus 5 minutes at the cybercafe and he thinks he's a cunning linguist. Go back to drawing figures in the dirt. |

| #3 This bull%*#@ is straight out of the AQ playbook dealing with resistance techniques. If any asshats from the media took time to read it (I had a translated copy before it hit the internets), they would know that the claims of abuse at Gitmo are part of the enemies game plan. To any media tools - tell me where you want a copy sent and I'll mail it to you - from Bangkok no less. |

| #2 I read the whole article early last night. It's spinning bullshit mostly. I imagine he has not been an ideal prisoner and has had to be restrained more than once. Much of what he says he "saw" is hear say and worthless no matter what. No matter who witnessed it the affidavit is worthless. It's also more supposed "leakage." Their is a full court press in the international right now to portray the US military man as a NAZI stormtrooper. This is just part of it. I suggest they call the Major from section 9 in to probe him. :p |
