That's right. The Sudanese should be telling us how to torture people properly.

Because, of course, we should aim for the lowest possible denominator in how we treat people.

We certainly treat them better than they treat our warriors when they get their hands on them.

But I'm sure you aren't interested in that.

So one guy complains out of all the people who have been held there and it's the worst prison ever. C'mon, I'm sure there are plenty of prisons that are worse. Maybe our little cameraman needs to get out more and tour different places before he makes pronouncements of this type.



PS.........IT'S A FUCKING PRISON, IT AIN'T A FUCKING RESORT! DUMBASS, IT'S SUPPOSED TO SUCK!

Supposed to suck? Maybe. But we're not supposed to set up Gulag's to avoid the Geneva Convention as well as our own laws about habeas corpus. Funny how that works.

And of course we should give them equal say in how we run our prisons.

Considering he was in Gitmo and you've never been near the place, I'd say he has a greater say than you do actually.

Let's compare our prisons to the prisons in the Sudan.

If they stand head and shoulders above us in the civil liberties and kindnesses they show their prisoners, then I'll consider their opinion on what consistitues a good prison.

If they are rife with human rights violations and fanatics, then I will assume this "journalist" is a state-sponsored mole who is paid to provide propaganda which make their own pathetic and trod-upon populace feel a little better about their own situations.
