No, I am not.

The fact that they are treated well is often trotted out and the intimation is, what do these guys really have to complain about. Perhaps I am responding more to that than what Tex was quoting, but I see that intimation in the quote.

This is the point I am making.

Neither is the rest. Sing Sing has soccer fields and basketball courts. I sure wouldn't want to live there.

Alcatraz had lovely sunsets and mild weather. Still...

I love watching Tex and Indy try to argue that Guantanamo Bay is the equivalent of Sandals, Cuba. I can just imagine David Hasselhoff running by with 4 beautiful blondes with him, rushing out to rescue Khalid Sheik Mohammad whose inflatable rubber duck tanning raft sprung a leak.

If John McCain wanted to leave, then that represents the entire world of emotions that normal people in captivity can feel. Duh.

All I've really done is post the reports of others. If you can dispute those reports with facts, feel free.

Don't act like you've never been there, wondering why Andrei Kirilenko gets all of David's attention in your fantasy.

Cali Coug, Attila the Hun called. He wants his sense of humor back.

He also wants the last 2 seconds of his life back spent reading your post. That time is lost forever.
