Like the title states; Been There, Done That! I spent a lovely 365 days at Guantanamo Bay and the only thing I have to say is… “Damnit! Where was the ice cream shop at!?!” Steven Crowder, it wasn’t there when I was there! Not that I’m saying he’s pulling one over on us. In fact I guarantee it’s there. When I was leaving GITMO they were in the midst of building tons of new things for the Troops to bring us up on par with what they had in Iraq. Well, except maybe the project to build a go-kart racetrack; I bet that’s probably not in Iraq.
It’s really great that Steven could go entertain the Troops at Club Survivor (the dinky outdoor bar and club inside Camp America). I remember seeing Toby Keith and other bands like Ballentine while I was there.
Cocktail; We used that terminology. My personal favorite was snicker attack, or being snickered; AKA Brown-log Attack! That’s when a detainee poops in his hand and throws it at a guard. They did however install a poop shield back in 2005 to prevent such things. However, the government as usual isn’t very effective at anything they do.
My only advice would be to Steven is to go back to Gitmo as a journalist (I’m pretty sure Pajamas Media can hook him up with that) and actually visit the detention facility. If he went as a comedian I know for a fact they would have let him drive past Camp Delta; however he wouldn’t have had a tour of Camp Delta and or X-Ray. All he has to do is go back with media credentials and he can get a first hand experience of the place instead of rely on his information from other sources. Not that he’s wrong, but as someone who’s seen the entire place; it’s worth seeing first hand.
It’s also important to note that Camp Delta and X-Ray were completely built from the ground up. Sometimes I cry at night thinking about how much money the government spent to build the place; only to have Obama close her down.
Don’t get me wrong. I think they (They being the Dirty Stinking Detainee terrorists expletives) should be tried in court. However, it should be the military tribunals that the Bush administration had intended. While I was there the administration had continually tried to give them their day in court. Except the stupid US Court of Appeals for the 9th circuit over and over again put a hold on the process. In the case of the detainees getting their due process we can only blame San Francisco Elitists who think they should dictate to the military our right to try the detainees in a military court. We found’em we should get to Fry’em. Many have already plead guilty so I don’t know what’s the big deal.
The meanest thing on that island isn’t even the detainees, it’s those darn iguanas. Their mean suckas! They don’t give up either. The only difference between a detainee and an iguana is that if the detainee attacks you at least you can beat the crap out of him. The Cuban Iguana are protected by law as endangered species.
One thing Steven you forgot to mention about the health care of the detainees. If a detainee attacked a guard and both were injured in the process… the detainee would be treated first over the American Guard… It’s true, and it’s sad.
Been There, Done That, Got the Tshirt and Burnt it!
