#3 Harry Belafonte

Of course good bud Fidel's guest quarters for political dissidents isn't worthy of their attention.

#4 Fine, close Gitmo and sequester all of its current occupants under house arrest at the residences of the signatories. After the first decapitation they'll be squealing like Ned Beatty in "Deliverance."

#6 The funniest part is that these drooling fools fell for it. Gitmo is a Potempkin village, a lightning rod designed to attract criticism by those who would criticize anything and everything. It is also ground zero for the legal sharks. That is why it is the only place that had concrete-hardened decisions supporting its use made *before* it was used.

Let them throw their liberal legions into the trenches to fight Gitmo. Let them shoot the hell out of the decoy. That is what it is there for.

#7 Danielle "the witch" Mitterrand, Gérard "my nose is a pair of buttcheeks" Depardieu... yeah, two real moral clarity examples, given their past achievements, yaaasss...

On Depardieu, in addition to being a fool, he's also an avid businessman alwais ready to lick *ss of dictators (Castro) or arab "middlemen" for the algerian junta, that gives him real credibility for human rights; as for "Tatie Danielle", she's an überleftist, she was an embarassemnt even for her late french socialist president François "corruption, decadence and genocide" Mitterrand, and she's an useful idiot to boot (she was played like a violin by the PKK kurds).

Manu chao, well, he's an antiglobo third worldist fool, but I really liked (and still like, actually, though I'm not a dumb teen anymore) his music, plus he striked me as being a "non marxist" leftist, I think, saying his music was non-political.

OT : if you want to check him, see (he sings in spanish and basic english, mostly, btw)

#8 We, the undersigned writers and artists, demand that the US immediately cease using the Guantánamo Bay base as an illegal detention centre...

OK. Since there's nothing illegal about it, there wish is granted.

#10 The tragedy is that a character like Soyinka, who has attacked the Islamists in his own country of Nigeria, is toadying to the filthpigs here because of his misplaced delusions of U.N. legitimacy.

#15 I agree with the hollywood guys, line them all up and shoot them in the head. After being found guilty by a quick military tribunal of course. Then there would be no need for Gitmo.

Just for argument's sake, where do they suggest we send them? Or do they want them all to be set free?

Movies? I think I remember seeing some of those in the past. Are they still making them?

Who knew?

#20 It's great that these people are finally interested in a Cuban prison. Now if we could just get them to focus on another Cuban prison (any other Cuban prison) we'd be getting somewhere.

#21 I know only 3 of the signatorie: Danielle Mitterrand (François's widow), Gérard Dupardieu (Obélix)and Harry Belafonte (Banana). The others are illustrious aliens to me.

#22 I remember reading LAST WEEK that Gitmo was to be closed and all prisioners sent to other facilities.

This is typical screwball behaviour, to announce they want it closed after the public announcement that it was closing.

Now watch for claims that "Public Outcry" forced the government to cave.

I recall the old Circus Parades down main street in my younger days, there would always be a couple of young boys who would run out and jump in front of the parade, "Leading" the patade through town, and whenever the parade turned down some other street, those same boys would scramble to run around the sidewalk and jump in front of the parade again.

I thought with the end of Circus Parades I'd never see that childishness again, I was wrong.

#27 Rigoberta Menchu? Oh yes. "My brother was tortured by the paramilitiaries (not - he's died of old age and in the ruling class), I was an uneducated peasant (not - went to Catholic schools), etc." The original gran mamasita of the 'fake but accurate' meme so beloved of the left these days.
