Inhumane

What will the handwringers in Europe and at Human Rights Watch have to say about this? The mother of one of the Russian prisoners in Gitmo would rather have him stay there than be returned to Russia. Guess he prefers the tropics.

Her son Andrei Bakhitov is one of eight Russian detainees, and the newspaper quoted a letter he wrote to his mother.

"I think that there is not even a health resort in Russia on the level of this place," the letter said.

You know, maybe Ashcroft should be fired for making it too appealing to be a terrorist suspect.

So, now What will the leftist, free the detainees now, bunny hugging, anti-business types have to worry about?

They will be afraid that the Life of Riley treatment at Gitmo will cause some of the detainees to come to the capitalist dark side.

I'd still rather be free, thanks!!
