A View From Inside Gitmo

Posted on Saturday, May 06 at 13:09 by jensonj
As Gordon and Paul will probably tell you, we have released prisoners at Guantanamo and some of them have gone on to perpetrate terrorist acts. What’s really interesting too is this study was performed by five experts from the UN Human Rights Committee, the vanguard of human rights protections including member nations like Cuba, Zimbabwe, Egypt, and Sudan. In 2003, they elected Libya to chair the commission, and there were three no-votes: the U.S., Canada, and Guatemala. France, of course, abstained. What’s really interesting is that, to perform this investigation, although they were invited, they didn’t go to Gitmo. They used the testimony of the lawyers of the detainees, as well as some of the testimony of released prisoners who are currently suing the U.S. government for damages so that you and I, the U.S. taxpayer can pay them for damages for their time at Gitmo. Paul is a senior military analyst for Fox News. He served for 32 years in the Army, including two combat tours in Vietnam. He retired as a Deputy Commanding General. He served on numerous U.S. security assistant missions. He’s a frequent lecturer and guest on nationally syndicated radio shows on the War on Terror. He is the Military Committee Chairman for the Center for Security Policy in Washington. He co-authored the book Endgame. In April 2000, following the death of his son, he established the Soldiers’ Memorial Fund to provide financial assistance for families of fallen soldiers in times of need. Gordon is a retired Green Beret Lieutenant Colonel who served in Okinawa, Korea, and Vietnam. After leaving the Army, he worked on Korea and East Asian Affairs for the Pentagon and the State Department. He was later a marketing VP for GE Aerospace. He’s a farmer also and he ran the largest alpaca and llama operation on the East Coast. He’s a columnist for Front Page Magazine, which has replaced the Los Angeles Times as my homepage. He also writes for Tech Central Station, the New York Post, the Washington Times, and other publications. He’s appeared on Fox News, WABC in New York, and ABC TV. He’s interviewed frequently on the radio and his book also, I hope many of you have purchased, Separated at Birth: How North Korea Became the Evil Twin. http://frontpagemagazine.com/Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=22343
