You seriously believe that these people are better off in Guantanamo Bay then they were at home?

IOW, they were forced to bathe and punished for flinging their feces about.

The Astrodome was a step up for most of the Katrina victims.

Massive fail.

I did not ask about their living conditions......why would I? I was in Egypt, Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Iraq. I already know their living conditions, which really aren't that much different than Honduras or Panama -- more places I've been.....and I've seen places much worse than that, like Burkina Faso.

See if you can stay on topic without dodging and deflecting like the garden-variety Liberals that you're trying so hard to flatter through imitation.

Certain Morals are Absolute: Murder, Rape, Torture, Theft....those things are never okay, with 'never' meaning "at no time ever."

Attempting to justify Moral Absolutes on the basis that their living conditions are better is absurd and asinine. Perhaps you should be wrongfully incarcerated....your standard of living would improve immensely.

Let's try this again....which part of the "Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment" do you not understand?

Laughing at the superior intellect...

Another “You Knew This Was Coming” article. And, will the Obama administration settle out of court by giving them millions – while they're back in Iraq, Afghanistan, or Syria doing their best to kill more non-Muslims?

Just another reason why our military needs to upgrade from 5.56 to a 6.8mm round.
50% more stopping power. Been there, done that.

Dude you're either stupid or lying.

Yep, we knew it was coming. We tried to tell the blockheads in the previous administration that Special Prison Camps for Special Types of Criminals was conduct unbecoming of a civilized nation and bound to lead to abuse. Would they listen? Of course not.
