'Wish you were here at Guantanamo Bay'
Some former prisoners of the American detention camp at Guantanamo Bay on Cuba are returning to their home countries, including three young Afghan boys. Of course the leftist press is eager to talk to them to get the sordid details about this American-built hellhole that violates human rights by the dozen.
One of the boys, Asadullah, who was around 12 years old at the time of his capture, was like the others a total disappointment to the Guardian journalists who travelled all the way to his faraway Afghan village to dig up some dirt on the Americans.
"Americans are great people, better than anyone else. Americans are polite and friendly when you speak to them. They are not rude like Afghans. If I could be anywhere, I would be in America. I would like to be a doctor, an engineer - or an American soldier."
However, quickly recovering from the shock to their anti-western dogma, the leftist journalists are able to rationalise the statements. Of course Amnesty International and other "human rights" groups have to be right when it argues the prisoners were denied "many of their most basic rights."
But, seized in the remotest wilds of violent Afghanistan, the boys knew practically nothing of their rights, and expected less.
Dumb kids. They didn't know better, not having been educated that the Americans are the evil scum of the earth. Who do they think they are, saying Guantanamo Bay is not hell on earth? These kids have only been living there for a few years, after all What do they know?.
