May each of you have the heart to conceive, the understanding to direct, and the hand to execute works that will leave the world a little better for your having been here. -- Ronald Reagan

Torture in Gitmo!

Remember when candidate Obama said one of the first things he was going to do when elected was to shut down U.S. prison camp at Guantanamo Bay? Well, about 20 months have gone by and Gitmo is still open. Bush lied! Ooops...wrong guy. Anyway, I'm sure that the unfulfilled campaign promised is Bush's fault.

Now we hear, horror of horrors, that these poor misunderstood terrorists are limited to only one ice cream a day. Torture! Where's Human Rights Watch!
Oh! The inhumanity!!

Really, there's a couple signs on a fridge: "DETAINEE FOOD ONLY " and "Only 1 ice cream for each detainee!"

The "detainees" have all gained 10-20 pounds since their incarceration. Seems like the food police, led by Michelle Obama, would welcome this limitation on frozen fat, sugar and salt. I think Michelle should send some produce from her magic garden. Let them eat okra.

This was an issue for The Miami Herald's Carol Rosenberg. What's the cause of this this horror, this violation of human rights!


Meanwhile, Barry Sotero isn't feeling their pain.
