HEATHER TELLS THE TRUTH ABOUT GITMO...AGAIN

Heather MacDonald laid bare the truth about Gitmo way back in January. But nobody wants to believe a 1. stupid woman 2. a woman who doesn't toe the party line 3. anybody who isn't a persecuted victim. So another chick who can really report has done so HERE. A few points, for those of you who care

A master narrative—call it the “torture narrative”—sprang up: the government’s 2002 decision to deny Geneva-convention status to al-Qaida fighters, it held, “led directly to the abuse of detainees in Afghanistan and Iraq,” to quote the Washington Post. In particular, torturous interrogation methods, developed at Guantánamo Bay and Afghanistan in illegal disregard of Geneva protections, migrated to Abu Ghraib and were manifest in the abuse photos.

This story’s success depends on the reader’s remaining ignorant of the actual interrogation techniques promulgated in the war on terror.

She reports that AlQaeda knows we won't do anything at all to prisoners and published techniques to use when captured....these techniques did not include the American Left moving to castrate the war on terror....

“Prisoners overcame the [traditional] model almost effortlessly,” writes Chris Mackey in The Interrogators, his gripping account of his interrogation service in Afghanistan. The prisoners confounded their captors “not with clever cover stories but with simple refusal to cooperate. They offered lame stories, pretended not to remember even the most basic of details, and then waited for consequences that never really came.”

Some of the al-Qaida fighters had received resistance training, which taught that Americans were strictly limited in how they could question prisoners. Failure to cooperate, the al-Qaida manuals revealed, carried no penalties and certainly no risk of torture—a sign, gloated the manuals, of American weakness.

MacDonald reminds all of us that

the world in which evil regimes, like those we fought in Afghanistan and Iraq, don’t follow the Miranda rules or the Convention Against Torture but instead gas children, bury people alive, set wild animals on soccer players who lose, and hang adulterous women by truckloads before stadiums full of spectators; the world in which barbarous death cults behead female aid workers, bomb crowded railway stations, and fly planes filled with hundreds of innocent passengers into buildings filled with thousands of innocent and unsuspecting civilians. By definition, our terrorist enemies and their state supporters have declared themselves enemies of the civilized order and its humanitarian rules.

Read the whole thing if you are "confused" about Gitmo, the war on terror, and exactly who our enemies are.

And then there is this one from Front Page wherein Amnesty International condems GITMO and barely touched the North Korean death camps. Not to worry, AI savaged Israel too, further proof of the anti-Semitism of the Left.
