The New York Times > Washington > Broad Use of Harsh Tactics Is Described at Cuba Base

Holy Crap. Let's get out the waaaaaambulance. Am I really surprised that this kind of bullshit article was written by the Times?? Wow, we made UNCOOPERATIVE prisoners strip to their undies, sit shackeled in a chair, turned the AC on, and blasted loud music. Granted, it was rap, which is enough to destroy most people's will to live, but you should compare the treatment our prisoners recieved at the hands of the iraqis. I seem to recall the group that Jessica Lynch was with were all summarily executed, after being brutally physically tortured. I recall reading about Andy McNabb's (an SAS team member who was captured during Gulf War I) horrific treatement, which included being publicly beaten, kicked, pissed on, shat on, spit on, etc at the hands of Saddam's regiem.

But, the New York Times is going to complain that we're making the detainees at Gitmo listen to rap music with the AC turned down. What a bunch of assholes.
