- YodaJones, on 08/15/2008, -1/+20I think Gitmo is so nice McCain should spend the rest of his days there.
- meese, on 08/15/2008, -0/+17Wow, that's nice. I'm glad we run prisons marginally better than dictatorships and known human-rights violators do.
- inactive, on 08/15/2008, -5/+18I just vomited up into my mouth a little bit
- inactive, on 08/15/2008, -0/+12"PLO, Russian Federation or even North Korea"
- yeah, that's who I want to compare MYSELF with!!!111!!one - absurdist, on 08/15/2008, -0/+10We're supposed to be the good guys, remember? We're supposed to be better than all of them. We're supposed to be the ones who DON'T do this stuff so that we stand as an example to the rest of the world. I'm getting fed up with sorry-assed apologists for the regime such as yourself who point to the worst case scenarios around the world and splutter about how we're at least better than they are. We're supposed to be better. That's the whole point.
- cg4et, on 08/15/2008, -1/+9Yeah, and I am pretty sure you can get a fantastic "manicure" in Cairo.
- USArugula, on 08/15/2008, -0/+7Hey asswipe, you making up stories again? How can "the people who watch such things" make any comment on gitmo when the fascists in power only let in the Red Cross. One group does constitute all " "the people who watch such things" and the only thing the red cross has said is that conditions have "improved". I guess you're going to argue that "improved" means they starting getting umbrella's in their dream vacation cocktails.
Sure, it's all well and good as you're not the one being held for 7 years without due process. But freedom and personal rights only apply neo-***** pigs like you want them, right? - toddcat, on 08/15/2008, -0/+7Well go live there then huh? Talk about the soft bigotry of low expectations. We run better prisons than the PLO, N. Korea, or the Russian Federation? It's like being better than Slovenia (no disrespect, Slovenians) in health care. And btw, I doubt that we do treat these prisoners better than those sites you mentioned anyway. And the PLO? Please. How many Palestinians have been slaughtered while Israel occupies their land? Don't make the Israelis into martyrs on this topic.
- inactive, on 08/15/2008, -0/+6I choose SIberia. The guards probably won't rape me.
- toddcat, on 08/15/2008, -0/+6And my favorite place to get food is what I find on the underside of my shoe after I walk across a farm.
- RandomGorilla, on 08/15/2008, -0/+5I dunno, it does get pretty cold up there....
Seriously though, McCain's a douche. - PaulMorel, on 08/15/2008, -1/+5Family is what makes a place nice to live in. Even if they have cable TV and room service, Gitmo is the last place they want to be. This country was founded, at least in part, on the idea that every man deserves a fair trial for his misdeeds. I have no problem with incarcerating terrorists, but holding men without giving them the opportunity to prove their innocence is just wrong. Gitmo will never be an even remotely nice place.
... and to think that we all knew about Gitmo and Abu Ghraib before the 2004 election, and people still voted for Bush. It's inconceivable. - jakeshdaddy, on 08/15/2008, -0/+4and John McCain is one of the most handsome faces in Washington!
- zinc6471, on 08/15/2008, -0/+4im pretty sure some inner city schools can do with the money that is pumped into these "detention" (concentration) camps.
- inactive, on 08/15/2008, -0/+4This guy has really gone off the deep end.
- Rudegar, on 08/15/2008, -0/+4no prisoners of war can only be detained for the duration of the war then they must be released
problem is when people start to declare wars of drugs and terror or evil and other things where
it's unclear when victory is achieved
the rules didn't see such nonsense coming - Diced, on 08/15/2008, -1/+4And without independent judicial oversight the Administration cannot confirm (in a legal way) that these detainee's are even unlawful combatants at all.
- inactive, on 08/15/2008, -0/+3Then we should Johnny boy there for the remainder of his days. I'm sure it'll remind him of the 60s.
- inactive, on 08/15/2008, -0/+3I want whatever HES smokin.
- inactive, on 08/15/2008, -1/+4You gotta ***** be kidding me.
Obama is almost as bad?
Did it hurt to jam your head that far up there? - Bologner, on 08/15/2008, -0/+3Aren't they expanding it to include a water park?
I can see it now:
"Come ride our newest ride, the Waterboard!" - Ultra99, on 08/15/2008, -0/+2Even Rove cannot help this one
- colincornaby, on 08/15/2008, -0/+2Oh c'mon. The man is just trying to lose now.
- ConAmoreEFuoco, on 08/15/2008, -0/+2When the US started using it as a detention center for the war on Terra. Because "Guantanamo" is tricky to say for some people.
- farfromok, on 08/15/2008, -0/+2McCain is an old retard
- Bishop256, on 08/15/2008, -1/+3did you actually watch the video? i bet you didnt. cuz im drunk right now and i realize that comment was taken so far out of context its ridiculous. McCain isnt saying that the prison is a nice place, he is commenting on cuba itself. if you didnt watch the video and went straight to commenting on McCain as a person based on this statement you are the same clueless follower you accuse bush followers as being.
- T440, on 08/15/2008, -0/+2*generic anti-McCain statement*
- iith096, on 08/15/2008, -0/+1Just stay away from those "meat sandwiches"
- inactive, on 08/16/2008, -1/+2You know, I admire your effort, dread. But CRC/(can't remember his previous banned name other than "DAVE edit" it was mightydavefish), but you are wasting you time.
I am firmly convinced he is a right wnger, pretending to be far left. Think about it: Is anyone REALLY that daft? REALLY? When I called him on it, he ran further than you attempts to get a follow up.
You have right wing troll, pretending to be a left wing caricature. Go back, take a look, and you will see I am right. - dkapuchino, on 08/16/2008, -0/+1Mccain has spent a few good years in a prison when fighting for his country. What have you done for your country?
(let me guess, I pay taxes!). - babylonian, on 08/15/2008, -2/+3Wait, watching the video, what he said specifically was "It may be one of the nicest places in the world to live in, but it has become a symbol."
I don't think he's suggesting it's one of the nicest places in the world to live in, he's saying that even if it was, it's become such a powerful symbol of what's wrong with America today that it should be closed down.
He's still a tremendous asswipe and has no right to become our president, but this is a pretty underhanded twisting of words. - DreadPirate, on 08/16/2008, -1/+2And only leftards could be proud of a coward such as yourself, CRC. You lack the courage to actually debate on any issue, instead just settling for a typical "post and run" attack, with your usual bile and insults.
- inactive, on 08/15/2008, -1/+2See?
The rightards KNOW they are of the same cloth as old KGB Russia or NK.
Deep in their hearts they know they are scum. - digidelia, on 08/15/2008, -0/+1unless you happen to be brown... then, not so nice.
- Stormwern, on 08/15/2008, -0/+1Atleast he understands the consequenses of Guantanamo. The worst case scenario of this election is looking pretty grim, so I'll take any respite I can get.
- BubblegumTate, on 08/15/2008, -0/+1Yeah, it's a paradise. (Audio version of these remarks here: http://www.entertonement.com/collections/2132/Nice ...
- chubbybubba, on 08/15/2008, -1/+1It reminds him of his home in Vietnam.
(except gitmo tenants get to wear cool hoods and have human pyramid fun time.) - NomortaL1, on 08/15/2008, -1/+1 When was Guantanamo Bay all the sudden referred to as "gitmo"?
- redrossero, on 08/15/2008, -0/+0Yeah, it is an 5 stars hotel, maybe he want to spend his vacation there...
- inactive, on 08/15/2008, -2/+2Thanks moron, for pointing out that we don't even have proof that most of them were soldiers.
What's more humane than actually treating them with a rule of law?
We destroyed their lives without any proof of wrongdoing.
Only a total honorless piece of ***** would ever argue that they are better off.
You are one of the most pathetic scumbags on digg.
Honestly, you are everything I try not to be.
On top of it you are a warmonger too ***** cowardly to enlist.
Only rightards could be proud of that. - inactive, on 08/15/2008, -1/+1Here's a thought, maybe he was referring to the actual area of Guantanamo Bay, not necessarily the prison.
- jeffwbnyc, on 08/15/2008, -0/+0Guantanamo Bay is one of the nicest places in the world to live in...FOR ME TO POOP ON!
- AlienAbductee, on 08/15/2008, -1/+0Impeach McCain!
..
errr ummm nvm
.vote Obama - DreadPirate, on 08/16/2008, -2/+1Why don't you tell us, CRC? Your head must be jammed pretty far up there to hide from all the people calling you on the BS you post day after day. Funny how you've never had the courage to respond, even once.
- Evilblobs, on 08/15/2008, -8/+4Probably nicer than a Vietnamese prison camp. Not that I like McCain, but he's talking about war prisons in general.
Choose one: Guantanamo, or Siberia. - inactive, on 08/15/2008, -6/+0But Obama is almost as bad. Were getting forced into voting a horrible next president.
Mccain is so far off his rocker he isn't entertaining like Bush was. - ImperialRome, on 08/15/2008, -10/+2Soldiers in a war can be detained for the duration, without trial. If these guys are soldiers, albeit irregular ones, then they can be detained for as long as we wish. If they are not soldiers, then they are civilians who took up arms against us, and as such, they should be tried for war crimes, and punished by us, and only released to their home countries if we can be certain that they will be imprisoned when they are repatriated.
If we cannot be certain that they are not going to be held by their home country, and not take up armes against us again, then they should be held forever.
Whats more humane? imprisoned forever at Gitmo, or sent back to Yemen so they can be shoved into the jihadi meatgrinder? Strapped up with a bomb belt or sent into combat against US marines, they are certainly going to be dead if we let them go. Better to spare their lives by keeping them incarcerated than sending them to paradise with a Hellfire missile. - Ridgeliner7, on 08/15/2008, -14/+3You shouldn't be such a pansy then. Compared to the so-called "dentention" camps run by the PLO, Russian Federation or even North Korea, Gitmo is indeed a paradise. According to the groups who watch such things, and according to our own people in Criminal Justice, people at Gitmo have more rights, better food, more diversions than in a prison in, say, New York.
