Mom: ’Keep my boy at Gitmo’
2003-08-08
A Russian mother said that conditions in Russian jails are so awful that she would prefer her son remain in the "humane" conditions of the U.S. military prison in Guantanamo Bay. A number of governments, including Russia’s, are in talks with the United States to extradite their nationals from the prison camp in Cuba, which was set up to house Taliban and al Qaeda suspects after the war in Afghanistan. "I am terribly scared of a Russian prison or Russian court for my son," Amina Khasanova was quoted as saying by Gazeta newspaper on Friday. "At Guantanamo they treat him humanely, the conditions are fine." Her son Andrei Bakhitov is one of eight Russian detainees, and the newspaper quoted a letter he wrote to his mother. "I think that there is not even a health resort in Russia on the level of this place," the letter said.
(I think this letter needs to be circulated around the world! Too bad these Ruskies don’t understand they are being ’tortured’ and ’mistreated’ by their U.S. Zioniat overlords. Will this make more Bad guys surrender so they can go to Club Cuba?)

#9  Badanov, they hate wimmin all right. But the best way to humiliate them is to put some women in charge -- women interrogators, women MPs, women officers who are obviously in charge, etc. It'll seriously undermine everything they've believed to this point.

#8  Zhang, I thought Islamists HATE wimmin. Maybe descend into inhumane torture by ordering strippers to do lap dances... for the guards.

#7  Hotel California, Zhang?

They should play tune at Gitmo just to shake up the people who can understand English, but who aren't cooperating. Actually, they should also play that tune to English-speaking prisoners we've caught in Iraq. I think they'll get the message loud and clear.

#5  It'll seem like a resort until they realize there might be no getting out. Imagine yourself spending the rest of your life in a cell at Club Med - except there's no women and no entertainment. I think they're right to fear it, although not necessarily for the right reasons.

#2  Craig is right! Iraqis, Afghanis, and the jihadi scum are all scared silly by the "horrors" of Gitmo! Squash this! Delete it! Slander it! "It's a lie! Horrors! Beatings! Torture! Forced viewings of Love Boat!"

#1  NO! The Islam baddies are scared sh*tless of being sent to Gitmo. Squelch this as a CIA rumour of mis-direction and let the fear of Gitmo continue and grow.
