Movie night at Guantanamo
Reading this, I keep thinking back to "movie night" at summer camp.
I have this image of these Guantanamo inmates being chained to chairs and forced to watch Mister Roberts and the Shaggy DA.
(PS. If these guys at Guantanamo are really considered present threats to attack the United States, maybe giving them English classes isn't such a good idea. No?)
A holiday camp it plainly will never be but the American officers running the Guantanamo Bay compound in Cuba are taking steps to make the lives of its detainees marginally more tolerable with recreational treats such as once-a-week film nights and limited access to television.

If you plan on keeping them captive for ever, you can teach them whatever you want.

"Mister Roberts and the Shaggy DA" LOL - classic drive-in fare. As serious as all of this is - I hope you don't mind me finding a little humor in your comments.

Not at all, that's the point.
I remember as a kid at camp being forced to watch those.
