Devout Muslims humiliated by American whores! by Anonymous Coward · 2004-03-16 01:53 · Score: -1, Offtopic

You Americans should be ashamed of yourselves!

Detainees at Guantanamo Bay are shackled for up to 15 hours at a time in hand and leg cuffs with metal links which cut into the skin. Their "cells" are wire cages with concrete floors and open to the elements - giving no privacy or protection from the rats, snakes and scorpions loose around the base. A diet of foul water and food up to 10 years out-of-date has left inmates malnourished. By contrast the camp guard dogs have wooden houses with air conditioning and green grass to exercise on.

But worst of all is the use of vice girls to torment the most religiously devout detainees. Prisoners who have never seen an "unveiled" woman before are forced to watch as the hookers touch their own naked bodies. One said an American girl had smeared menstrual blood

You make me sick! How dare you call yourselves the land of the free and the defenders of civilization. You make me sick! You are a bunch of depraved lunatics who deserve to drown in pig shit!

  Those detainees are lower than dogs. They are getting treated better than they should.

  And, as always, any hint that the editors are biased is labelled Flamebait and shuffled off to /dev/null.
  
  God bless the truth! May it be buried forever!

Just because your backwards assed country doesn't know how to handle itself, doesn't mean that we should come over there and hold your hands. The reason we are free and have such "great" facilities is because we fought for it. And we are still fighting for it today. So why don't you stop complaining about what the U.S. should be doing for you, and fix your own damn country!!!

Speaking of SCO (and similarly off topic) Simon Travaglia has written an equally hilarious followup to the BOFH episode that had NOTHING to do with SCO, it was all coincidence! Honest!
