#1 the BBC prisoners there are not being treated equally

I didn't know there are BBC prisoners at Gitmo. Awesome.

#2 Why do we allow anyone not part of the military to visit Gitmo? This should be strictly a military installation. We have a hard enough time keeping security with our own personnel, some of whom seem to have their own agendas.

#3 "Gitmo Reward Plan Lets Prisoner Earn Perks"

Turn in 10 jihadis and get 5 free upgrade coupons?

#4 The Left's whining about plastic turkeys, mission accomplished banners and "torture" at GITMO, does more for Bush's reelection campaign than anything else around. It makes everything the left says suspect for petty, partisan, bickering.

#5 You mean your client has too many perks? Well we will just get right on that. I just shake my head every time I hear about the injustices that these jihadis face at the hands of the U.S. We should have just put a bullet in their brain and that would end the discussion. Jihadis have NO legal status and keeping them alive in a humane act in itself, these Isalomfacists would never return that favor.

#6 At least it's a BBC article. If it was from the NYT, I would question whether the lawyer actually went to Gitmo, or whether the lawyer actually existed at all.

#7 Nevertheless, Mr Kenny said inmates appeared to be treated differently depending on whether they came from countries that had allied themselves with the Americans or not.

So what? These twats were captured in a foreign land, are not legal U.S. citizens or residents, nor are they uniformed soldiers of some nation's armed forces. I sure as hell don't care whether they are being discriminated against, and I don't see any particular reason why anyone else should.
