Proven abuse at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba

This article at Front Page Magazine details some of the abuse that people at the Guantanamo Bay prison suffer through. An eyewitness account:

What I Saw at Gitmo
Last week, I was privileged to be part of a Department of Defense trip to the Joint Task Force - Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. I got to see the operations of this "controversial" facility up-close � something particularly important after Sen. Richard Durbin�s comparison of its guard to Nazi stormtroopers and calls of leftists to shut the center down. Our group went to GITMO to check out tales that the military was being too tough on these terrorist detainees. We left convinced that America is being extraordinarily lenient � far too lenient.

After speaking with soldiers, sailors, and civilians who collectively staff Gitmo, I left convinced that abuse definitely exists at the detention facilities, and it typically fails to receive the press attention it deserves: it�s the relentless, merciless attacks on American servicemen and women by these terrorist thugs. Many of the orange jumpsuit-clad detainees fight their captors at every opportunity, openly bragging of their desire to kill Americans. One has promised that, if released, he would find MPs in their homes through the internet, break into their houses at night, and "cut the throats of them and their families like sheep." Others claim authority and vindication to kill women, children, and other innocents who oppose their jihadist mission authorized by the Koran (the same one that hangs in every cell from a specially-designed holder intended to protect it from a touching the cell floor � all provided at U.S. taxpayer expense). One detainee was heard to tell another: "One day I will enjoy sucking American blood, although their blood is bitter, undrinkable�." These recalcitrant detainees are known euphemistically as being "non-compliant." They attack guards whenever the soldiers enter their cells, trying to reach up under protective facemasks to gouge eyes and tear mouths. They make weapons and try to stab the guards or grab and break limbs as the guards pass them food.

Emphasis mine. These are not spiritually advanced people. These are morally bankrupt souls who would pass most Psychiatric evaluations for insanity and delusional behavior with flying colors. There is nothing noble about them or their 'cause'. The really sad thing is that if there was not such a culture of self-failure and blame in the middle east, these would probably be our best friends. I have met many sane people who worship Allah and they are wonderful, warm and gracious people. The people (the Islamofascists) are a very vocal minority who are being led by theocrats who lust for power and have no qualms about keeping their own people repressed and ignorant to maintain that power and to keep a standing army of cannon-fodder...
