What went on at Guantanamo?
I was listening to my local Pacifica station this morning, they had a segment with Janis Karpinski, the Brig. General on whom Abu Ghraib was pinned. One of the things she said is that Maj. Gen. Geoffrey Miller, the guy who was in charge of Guantanamo and was later brought into Abu Ghraib, was a field artillery officer with no background in prisoner handling and interrogation before Rumsfeld placed him at Guantanamo.
Is it any wonder, then, that stuff like this was going on?

WASHINGTON - Military interrogators posing as FBI agents at the U.S. detention center at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, wrapped terrorism suspects in an Israeli flag and forced them to watch homosexual pornography under strobe lights during interrogation sessions that lasted as long as 18 hours, according to one of a batch of FBI memos released Thursday.....I'm not an expert, but, on top of everything else, military interrogators posing as FBI agents?

Umm... is there any depth they will not plumb? Is there any limit to how low they might go? Not on George's watch. Why does anything surprise us anymore?
PS: I've linked to your blog (via my blog roll). Hope this is okay wit' you.

Things keep getting weirder and weirder.
I mean this sounds like something out of Kids in the Hall, not real life. but I guess it is. I wonder if they were watching the paratrooper video. And, hey, weren't the Republicans supposed to save us from the gays?
