More GITMO Abuse

Sickening.

    The prisoners held at Guantanamo Bay during the war on terror have attacked their military guards hundreds of times, turning broken toilet parts, utensils, radios and even a bloody lizard tail into makeshift weapons, Pentagon reports say.

    Incident reports reviewed by The Associated Press indicate Military Police guards are routinely head-butted, spat upon and doused by "cocktails" of feces, urine, vomit and sperm collected in meal cups by the prisoners.

    They've been repeatedly grabbed, punched or assaulted by prisoners who reach through the small "bean holes" used to deliver food and blankets through cell doors, the reports say. Serious assaults requiring medical attention, however, are rare, the reports indicate.


Oh wait, it's Americans. Where do I check my outrage? At the door?

Whew. For a moment there, I thought you had a news story...

A ThreeSources salute to the men and women who serve down there. That's gotta suck. Serve in the heat, get human waste thrown at you, and endure physical abuse. The slightest retaliation would be an international incident. The BBC, Democratic Party, and Sens. McCain and Graham think you're criminals.

But they are keeping us safe. Thanks.
