Something to ruin your weekend

Were you ready for a nice, peaceful, relaxed weekend thinking about nothing important? You won't have one if you read this article I found linked at Power Line:

The politically correct regulations are unbelievable. Detainees are entitled to a full eight hours sleep and can't be woken up for interrogations. They enjoy three meals and five prayers per day, without interruption. They are entitled to a minimum of two hours of outdoor recreation per day.

Interrogations are limited to four hours, usually running two - and (of course) are interrupted for prayers. One interrogator actually bakes cookies for detainees, while another serves them Subway or McDonald's sandwiches. Both are available on base. (Filet o' Fish is an al Qaeda favorite.)

Interrogations are not video or audio taped, perhaps to preserve detainee privacy.

Call it excessive compassion by a nation devoted to therapy, but it's dangerous. Adm. Harris admitted to me that a multi-cell al Qaeda network has developed in the camp. Military intelligence can't yet identify their leaders, but notes that they have cells for monitoring the movements and identities of guards and doctors, cells dedicated to training, others for making weapons and so on.
Oh, there's more. Lot's more. For instance, what's the ratio of prisoners to lawyers? For every one prisoner there are 2.72 lawyers. Oh yeah. Another jewel: American taxpayers have paid for 5,000 dental operations for prisoners including teeth cleanings.

For the life of me, I can't understand why these pieces of filth were not lined up in front of a firing squad and shot on the battle field.
