Not-So-Bad Gitmo
There’s an alternative report.

Code:
  While *Newsweek* has retracted its deadly tall tale about interrogators shoving the Koran down a toilet to rattle Guantanamo detainees, the magazine’s “[flush to judgment](http://news.yahoo.com/s/nypost/20050517/cm_nypost/editorsinflushtojudgment)” fits what Manhattan Institute scholar Heather MacDonald calls the prevailing “[torture narrative](http://www.city-journal.org/html/15_1_terrorists.html).” *Possibly harmless Muslims languish without trial in U.S. custody. America’s soul dies a little as each GI’s sucker-punch shatters one more Arab’s jaw.* Yadda, yadda, yadda.

     “You people are no better than and no different than the Nazi concentration camp guards,” a Red Cross representative said in April at a U.S. detention facility in Iraq, [ editorial*Wall Street Journal*](http://www.opinionjournal.com/editorial/feature.html?id=110006725). Amnesty International Wednesday called Gitmo “[the Gulag of our times](http://washingtontimes.com/upi-breaking/20050525-031635-1945r.htm).”
Journalists and Bushophobes should stop crying for these Islamo-fascists long enough to read a largely overlooked Pentagon document on Guantanamo detainees. They appear pampered, chatty, and lethal.

“Americans are very kind people,” one English-challenged detainee said in the March 4 paper. “If people say there is mistreatment in Cuba with the detainees, those type speaking are wrong, they treat us like a Muslim not a detainee.”

“I’m in good health and have good facilities of eating, drinking, living, and playing,” remarked another. “The food is good, the bedrooms are clean and the health care is very good.”
