Guantanamo Eyes Possible Execution Chamber
This isn't a new story to be sure. In fact, it doesn't raise many eyebrows.
Well why the hell not?
This country has become an ethical and moral disaster area of magnanimous proportion.
Guantanamo officials are working on plans to provide a courtroom, a prison and an execution chamber if the order comes to try terror suspects at the base in Cuba, the mission commander said.
Are we, as Americans just getting a little bit fed up with having to provide room and board for the 680 or so folks currently locked up down there?
"We're getting ready so we won't be starting from scratch," [Maj.Gen]Miller said, speaking while on a visit to Washington D.C.
Did I miss something? Ready for what exactly? Are we planning for a sudden influx of "enemy combatants" in need of immediate death? And here's the punch line:
Some civil liberties advocates have criticized the process.
"Any further movement in the direction of trying these men in commissions that could have the power to carry out death sentences is cause for great concern," Vienna Colucci of Amnesty International's Washington D.C. office said Monday.
Ya think? So that's what I am now huh - a "civil liberties advocate"? Let's think about that a moment. What brain dead moron wouldn't want to be? Has it finally come to this? Standing behind the constitution is suddenly and inexplicably a dicey affair - politically incorrect at that.
About five people have been drafting several plans for the last six months, he said. It was unclear how much money it would take to sustain such a permanent mission.
Yeah, you heard that right too. This Guantanamo thing is permanent. So you can imagine how important funding would be especially since we don't have much "funding" on tap in the foreseeable future.
Please mom, don't let them take me to Guantanamo Bay. Sick, sick, sick. I am.
