Hugh Hewitt just played Donald Rumsfeld's speech on Guantanamo Bay (report of his talk here). The statement that jumped out at me was that we spend more money, per person, to feed the Gitmo detainees culturally appropriate meals than we spend feeding our troops.
The Lefties, as represented by their "Human Rights" groups really frost my chaps! The latest from Amnesty International has been to declare Gitmo a gulag.
Gulag, my eye! I wonder if Stalin's gulags fed their prisoners Lemon Fish/Orange Chicken, Rice Pilaf, and Vegetable Medley. Stalin probably fed them even better, since Gitmo is so horribly, wretchedly cruel.
Great post on this by Brian Cox at BYR Blog. He says, "I wonder if those people who talk about shutting down Guantanamo to help with our image have figured out that the same people who are attacking us now over Gitmo will just pick another prison or another target to complain about. Once we've shut it down it will be open season on our military. They will have learned that all it will take to shut down a military prison is a few complaints about a woman standing too close to them. That is not a message we should be sending."
Here's what some other folks had to say: James Lileks. Mark Steyn. Michelle Malkin.
