Here's What You Need to Know About Gitmo |
2005-06-23 |
By James LileksGitmo is the gulag equivalent of a Ben Affleck movie: no one's seen it, but everyone has an opinion about it. Given all the rhetoric that's been spilled about this sorta-kinda-not-really Death Camp, it's time we re-examine the facts, and remind ourselves what's really at stake. Herewith a summation. |

#3 "A: Contrary to what some suggest, it does not stand for "Git mo' Peking chicken for Muhammad, he wants a second portion." It stands for "Guantanamo," a facility the United States built to see if the left would ever care about human rights abuses in Cuba. The experiment has apparently been successful. Perhaps ol' turbanDustbin should have said something such as "I made a horrible mistake, I got the location, Cuba, correct, I just got the prison camp facility dead rongwrong. You see, Castros comunist regime in Cuba is a concentration camp, just like those of the National Socialist Auschwitz, Buchenwald, Dachau, Sobibor, etc. And like the gulags of Soviet Union, political prisoners are incarcerated there to rot and die. And not just political dissidents, but homosexuals, or anyone with aids, or tuberculosis are quarantined on an adjacent island in the most squalid conditions to be found in any totalitarian regime in this world today. Not just the prison camps, but the much lied about health care facilties, should also be classified as death factories, where you can find more cockroaches in a single ward than patients in the entire country. Oh sure, the Castro elite get the best health care, but if you are among the proletariat, you just better hope you don't sick, and end up as all the other nameless thousands who go to the hospital, and never get out, alive that is, Its an atrocity! Where is Damnasty international? Its an atrocity I say! |

#2 Just when I think I've mastered sarcasm, Lileks comes along and humbles me. I am in awe of his Liberal-tauntage. I'm saving this to reference when I get uppity about my own sarcasm skillz. |

#1 Lileks is a gifted writer to be sure. He gets lots of pokes in at everyone, including the defeatist media. Poor country: not a single runaway Caucasian bride to interest the media. That's why we really don't require 24 hour cable or satellite TV news. |
