Lawyer: Gitmo guards gettin’ their kicks in
In an obvious play for sympathy for his client, a lawyer for a Guantanamo detainee is claiming that those troops who the Left claims to support are getting their last licks in on those detainees before the tropical resort closes according to Reuters.
“If one was to use one’s imagination, (one) could say that these traumatized, and for lack of a better word barbaric, guards were just basically trying to get their kicks in right now for fear that they won’t be able to later,” [human rights lawyer Ahmed Ghappour] said.
“Certainly in my experience there have been many, many more reported incidents of abuse since the inauguration,” added Ghappour, who has visited Guantanamo six times since late September and based his comments on his own observations and conversations with both prisoners and guards.
He stressed the mistreatment did not appear to be directed from above, but was an initiative undertaken by frustrated U.S. army and navy jailers on the ground. It did not seem to be a reaction against the election of Obama, a Democrat who has pledged to close the prison camp within a year, but rather a realization that there was little time remaining before the last 241 detainees, all Muslim, are released.
See? It’s not Obama’s fault – it’s them damn troops. Just like everything else is the troops’ fault. Well, except those misguided children who eventually go AWOL or desert or join IVAW.
On the lighter side of the charges, the troops are enjoying themselves apparently;
“Several of my clients have had toilet paper pepper-sprayed while they have had hemorrhoids,” Ghappour said.
Another area of concern was evidence that detainees were being abused on the way to meetings with their lawyers — sometimes so badly that they no longer wanted to meet with counsel for fear of the beatings they would receive, he said.
“Some detainees are convinced they are going to be locked up there forever, despite the promises to close the camp,” he said.
Of course, Reuters goes out of their way to confirm the stories Ghappour is telling them;
Chirp. Chirp. Chirp.

Three hots, a cot, all the fucking prayer time they want, 7 hours of recreation a day, including soccer games, access to every ACLU puke who has their panties in a wad over the detention of Islamic terrorist scumbags, and that’s described as “mistreatment”. Who the hell needs al Jazeera when we’ve got the ACLU and Reuters?

This is such b.s. Does anyone with a brain believe this crap is true? Holder himself just returned from the camp and made it clear that it was run exceptionally well. These phony, slip and fall lawyers (as Mark Levin calls them) are just pure slime.
