American gulag is good for the world...they like us now !
An al Qaeda suspect in Guantanamo Bay was stripped, forced to bark like a dog, and subjected to the music of Christina Aguiler.
International debate has intensified over the future of the detention camp in Cuba.
These underendowed interrogation techniques were approved by Donald Rumsfeld, the Defence Secretary.
They included a "sissy slap" with an inflated latex glove, ordering Mr Kahtani to "bark to elevate his social status up to that of a dog," and rejecting a request that he be allowed to pray.
On other occasions, water was poured on his head and Aguilera music was played to keep him awake in midnight sessions.
One suspect was made to urinate in his underpants, and at other times to wear pictures of scantily clad women around his neck. At one point the "bad moslem" asked to commit suicide.
"Gulag of our times"... Jimmy Carter has urged it to be closed, and senior Democratic lawmakers have called it a "recruiting tool" for international terrorism.
But Vice-President Dick Cheney said in an interview to be shown today that there was "no plan to close" the prison, and Mr Rumsfeld insisted that information extracted from prisoners had saved American lives.
We are so much safer now that Michael Jackson has been lynched and the evil empire has been subdued.
Thank god for our republican leadership and their high religious beliefs.
