Guantanamo Bay, The American Gulag

...when word gets out about the superior conditions these inmates have compared to the destitution faced by their fellow citizens, it makes one think that Bush just might be creating terroists...

The Instapundit has an amusing theory:

TOO FAT FOR JIHAD? Perhaps it's a cunning plan: "Only in America would you find authorities trying to cope with terrorist detainees by over-feeding them. . . . Guantanamo officers say that while most of the detainees upon arrival at Gitmo ranged from underweight to normal, today the 460 or so held on the base range from normal to overweight to mildly obese." One inmate, reportedly, is up to 410 pounds.

...with them being "overfed", could this be a way of slowly killing them with heart disease and is that torture?

Howdy Jimmy C good to find you here too. OK now for the serious stuff. Do any of you remember when Rush created "Club GITMO"? Maybe we're on to something here, as one poster above stated, maybe THIS is the real reason they go on the Jihad trail. To get a ticket out of misery and a trip to the world of wonders. I have stayed in hotels that had lesser conditions than these guys are living under.

Let us not forget that they can FREELY practice their religious beliefs. Something that they DO NOT allow in many of their own home countries.

Not really a Rush fan. He and I agree on too many topics. It is hard to listen to a person for a couple of hours, repeat to me what I already believe. I read your UN piece Shades, but as much as I found it interesting, it is at the end of the day the UN and as such is kinda meaningless. Best 2 u.
