With all the breast beating by the MSM, Amnesty International, and some members of the Dimwit™ Party over the supposed "brutality" of the conditions at Gitmo, I thought that it might be interesting to see how the "Minutemen" of Iraq (as the Moron from Michigan has described them) treat those that they consider as enemies.

Just an excerpt :

"But he still had been hurt badly. Marks from beatings criss-crossed his back, and deep pocks, apparently from electric shock burns, were gouged in his skin."

"The shocks, he said, felt "like my soul is being ripped out of my body." But when he would start to scream, and his body would pull up from the shock, they would begin to beat him, he said."

"In an interview with an embedded reporter just hours after he was freed, he said he had never seen the faces of his captors, who occasionally whispered at him, "We will kill you." He said they did not question him, and he did not know what they wanted. Nor did he ever expect to be released."

"They kill somebody every day," said Mr. Fathil, whose hands were so swollen he could not open a can of Coke offered to him by a marine. "They've killed a lot of people."

But at least they didn't play Christine Agulara tapes! Note that the prisoners didn't have to worry about the Queran being desecrated, they weren't provided any. Nor were they allowed to make their required prayers in the manner prescribed....kinda hard to do when your chained up on a wall.

Another excerpt:

His town has always been a good place, he said, but the militants have made it hell.

"These few are destroying it," he said, his face streaked with tears. "Everybody they take, they kill. It's on a daily basis pretty much."

Mmmm and just how many fatalities at Gitmo?.....

Lets see: Insurgants Islamofacists treatment of prisoners:

1 chained to the walls.
2 beaten on a daily basis.
3 fed once a day.
4 Subjected to electric shock.
5 kept in a darkened house.
6 Prevented from practicing their religious duties.

Treatment of detainees at Gitmo:

1 Kept in cells equivelent to any modern prison
2 May be subjected to uncomfortable heat or cold, to break down resistance for questioning--DONE with close medical supervision to ensure no physical damage.
3 Fed three meals a day, of religiously appropiate food, including chicken ala'orange, peas and dates (average weight gain of detainees is 20-30 lbs since arrival)
4 Allowed access to Queran, arrows to indicate East, prayer rugs furnished, and a bell rung to indicate the proper times to pray.
5 Allowed access to a fenced yard to excersize and be in the fresh air.

So YOU tell me, WHICH side is running a Gulag?
