Sorry For the Detainment, Here's a Laptop
A select group of 17 Uighur Muslims held in Guantánamo, and waiting for a nation to grant them asylum are getting laptops and web training from the US military. Their web training will take place in a virtual computer lab the military has set up. The lessons will be limited to DVD language training as well as a basic users skill — set to help in any future employment options. Nury Turkel, an Uighur rights activist, said the training would help the men "be reintroduced into a modern society," adding that it "also would give hope to the men that their freedom is nearing." This special group already gets to order fast food and use a phone booth for weekly calls. I think the government is on to something here. Nothing keeps a man pacified like an occasional phone call, a cheeseburger, and surfing for a little porn.

Tell my boss that. He won't let me surf porn or make personal calls at work. Cheeseburgers are alright though.
As waterboarding wasnt giving enough answers, they changed tactics and now are giving them laptops with Windows ME and Microsoft Bob. I'm sure there are international laws against that inhuman methods of torture.
If they don't mind being treated a little worse than a terror suspect they could get corporate IT jobs.
One laptop per terrorist!
Mod me down you wonderful bastards, it's called comedy!
So they are in the Star Wars forums then... (Im just joking please don't hurt me)
If they woke up in the morning and had a bullet in their heads wouldn't that make them some sort of Chinese highlanders?
