Alledged Gitmo Abuse is more like Self defense !

Alledged Gitmo Abuse is more like Self defense !

Today I was reading an article entitled, " Guantanamo Inmates Defy American Guards" . As I read the article I became more convinced than ever that the alledged abuse of Gitmo detainees certainly sounded more like the American Soldiers guarding them were defending themselves against attack.

The opening paragraph basically says it all:
"The prisoners banged on their cells to protest the heat at Guantanamo Bay. They doused guards with whatever liquid was handy � from spit to urine. Sometimes they struck their jailers, one swinging a steel chair at a military police officer." At this point I thought, Hey, maybe the main stream news media got it wrong, maybe it's the guards who are being abused.

How about this paragraph:

"And the American MPs at times retaliated with force � punches, pepper spray and a splash of cleaning fluid in the face, according to documents obtained by The Associated Press that detail military investigations and eyewitness accounts of alleged abuse."

Alledged Abuse ?, the detainees attack the guards, the guards defend themselves and the MSNM classifies this as abuse ..GET REAL !



"Military authorities have previously disclosed some incidents of guard retaliation, which resulted in mostly minor disciplinary proceedings."

Minor Discipline ? FOR WHAT ? Defending themselves from these terrorists ?



"What emerges from 278 pages of the newly released documents is the degree of defiance by the terrorism suspects at Guantanamo."



Can we discipline them istead ?



"Some prisoners at the U.S. base in eastern Cuba have gone on the attack, as in April 2003 when a detainee got out of his cell during a search for contraband food and knocked out a guard's tooth with a punch to the mouth and bit him before he was subdued by MPs. One soldier delivered two blows to the inmate's head with a handheld radio, the documents show."


Better the radio than an M-16 !



"The internal investigative reports do, however, provide a snapshot of life behind the wire at Guantanamo, depicting a tense, hostile and sometimes chaotic place."


Hey these are terrorists, this is Gitmo, not Boy's Town !


Anyway you get my point, these detainees are attacking our soldiers. Our sodiers are defending themselves, and tha main stream new media, along with officials like Durbin the Turbin are calling this ABUSE. Please read the whole artcicle folks. How anyone can read the article and say that soldiers responding to be attacked are abusing inmates is beyond me. Inmates are throwing urine and spitting on our soldiers and physically attacking them and if our guys defend themselves they are being disciplined and the leftist liberals are calling them Nazis. It is a classic case of the news media spinning the story for their benefit and attacking the US Military and our country. Who could blame any soldier for not wanting duty at Gitmo. It appears that the inmates can attack at will but the soldiers can harm not a hair lest they get disciplined.
