Sub-Humans at GITMO

Sub-Humans at GITMO

I’ve never been in jail or prison although I have known a few people who have and I do occasionally watch A&E’s “Lock Up” series which depicts convicted felons in various jails and prisons so I know a very limited tad about how inmates act and react during their incarcerations.

Many act abominably, in ways that would make average citizens retch in disgust at their behavior but few act like the miscreants living on American taxpayers’ dime at the detention facility located on the Guantanamo Naval Base, GITMO. Four of those miscreants have committed suicide, which must count as a blessing for the facility and their Marine guards with the only regret being that the hundreds of others who reportedly attempted but failed to kill themselves didn’t succeed.

That would be a harsh commentary in most circumstances except for a notable distinction: Many of the GITMO detainees could readily be labeled more animal than human although such a description would constitute a grave insult to residents of the animal world; no zoo I know of would accept them.

A prison by definition is not a happy, fun place. A prisoner by definition is incarcerated because he has been convicted or accused with serious reason of being involved in a crime. Guantanamo prisoners are believed to have engaged in reprehensible terrorist conduct relating to efforts to maim and kill Americans, to destroy American property and infrastructure, and to effect the collapse of American society and institutions.

They have also been aptly characterized as a sub-human species. . .
