VOA News - Amnesty Sees Duplicity in 'War on Terror'

VOA News - Amnesty Sees Duplicity in 'War on Terror'

"Amnesty International has accused the United States and other major powers setting aside human rights protections in the war on terror."

- OK, so what are we supposed to do, kill them with kindness?

"Ms. Khan has singled out the United States for particular criticism over the detention of suspected terrorists at a military base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba."

- So... is there some other place we should hold them? Are they supposed to stay at a Hilton? Motel 6? Or does Guantanamo Bay, Cuba have some intrinsic element to it that constitutes cruelty whereas if they were detained someplace else it would not? Surely it can't be that bad, the base has been there for quite some time now. It's even tropical. Hmm... so maybe we could do the opposite and detain the suspected terrorists in Alaska or maybe someplace on the Antarctic, and maybe that would make this more humanitarian. Enough sarcasm, the things people are saying these days is laughable enough as it is.
