The Factor at GITMO
Bill O’Reilly reports on his trip to GITMO last Friday,
I asked the colonel in charge of the cells why some of the detainees had covered the small windows that allowed guards to observe them.
The colonel replied that the International Red Cross wants as much privacy for the prisoners as possible. That privacy may have allowed the suicides.
The average detainee has gained 18 pounds since entering Gitmo. And the USA spends three times as much on their food as on military food.
Nevertheless, the left continues to call for the prison to be closed. People like Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi are adamant about it.
But where do we send these people? They’d be executed inside civilian prisons. And why shift them to a military prison inside the USA? There’s no reason to do that.
So at this point, 10 detainees have been charged with war crimes. More than 300 are deemed dangerous to the USA. And about 140 have been designated for release, but few countries want to take them.
Two hundred and seventy nine Gitmo prisoners have already been set free. Few of them went on to commit murder. For example, the Gitmo jihadists blew up a Marriott hotel in Pakistan shortly after the USA repatriated him back to that country.
So “Talking Points” is convinced Guantanamo Bay is being run correctly and that it is necessary for the security of this nation.
On another note, ever wonder what former detainees do when they get out? Well, besides rejoining the Jihad. They write a book and get a plug by the New York Times.
