Diffing Guantanamo Bay SOP Manuals

Posted by Zonk on from the maybe-they-forgot-we-had-computers dept.

James Hardine writes "The Washington Post is reporting that Wikileaks has released another manual for Camp Delta, Guantanamo Bay together with the US military's rendition operations manual. This release follows from the Wikileaks release of the 2003 SOP Manual as discussed on Slashdot last month. Wikileaks compares the two manuals (2003, 2004) and reveals damning changes in official US detainee policy in exquisite detail. Who knew that diff could be such a powerful political weapon?"

      Relax, Dick. You, Bush and the rest of the cabinet are still allowed to have circle jerks on the constitution while watching torture porn.

      Since our intelligence resources are still struggling to infiltrate al-qaida and similar groups perhaps you can give some constructive advice on what exactly Bush should have done in the 5 months between that vague memo and the 9/11 attack?

      Also, would you care to comment on Clinton's limp-wristed response to FOUR attacks by al-qaida while he was president?

      If there is any justice in this world, the terrorists will blow the heads off your family, and then you can spend the rest of your life eating mournful crow.

      My friend, you are a sap and a sucker. I pity your cluelessness.

    Yawn. Wait, I mean; "Rally the protesters! Where's the guy with the drum?! Everyone knows any good protest has to have some jackass that beats a drum while we chant our witty rhyming mantra!"

    In the past "irregular combatants" were not considered any different than spies and were executed. Sounds like we just keep them in "Club Gitmo" until we find out what they know and find a place that will accept them.
    Are these the same "irregulars" who are actually dirt farmers turned in by a stranger or a feuding neighbor for the reward equal to an Afghani life savings? Yeah, I didn't think you knew the answer to that. Too busy holding your cheeks open waiting for Bush's next civil rights triumph. About a dozen of the people in Gitmo are actually terrorist suspects. Most of the rest are random civilians who were in the wrong spot at the wrong time.

    But we wouldn't want to make a decision and either charge them or let them go, now would we? Not unless Bush says so? Yeah, I thought that was your answer.

    You probably voted for Bush. Twice. You'd better hope I don't meet you some day as my fists get a little uncontrollable when I hear people proudly claim they did that. You have no idea how people like you piss me off. Short-bus riding window-lickers, all of you.

    I'm no "liberal". Not the way you mean it. But I'm no neo-con either.

    Let's see. Twice for W, once for Dole, twice for H.W., twice for Reagan, once for Ford. Couldn't vote for Nixon since I wasn't old enough. I just wish Condi was running this time.

    I find it amusing that you approve of personal violence as a means of influencing the vote. Have you considered moving to a country that approves of such actions? Also, odd that you proclaim that you're not a liberal. With your lack of logical consistency you'd fit right in.

    Cheers,
    Dave

    I not only voted for Bush, but gave him money twice. Bring your uncontrollable fists, you thug, and I'll bring my rifle. I really could care less if I piss you off, and you will not threaten me or anyone else, you traitor.
