Spreading Lies

From Laura Ingraham:

SYMPATHY FOR THE DEVIL:

Feeling happy? Satisfied? Sounds like a job for Amnesty International! In an attempt to convince Americans of their own depravity, Amnesty is bringing a life-size replica of a Guantanamo Bay cell on a national tour.

One problem. As reported by Cybercast News Service, the cell has far more in common with the paranoid delusions of the blame-America-first crowd than anything you'll find at Gitmo. The replica measures 7 by 10 feet, while actual cells are 10 by 20.

The cell on the Mall is also missing the sink Gitmo cells include. Amenities like bedding, toiletries, copies of the Koran and three-square meals a day also go unmentioned. As do prayer rugs, "culturally appropriate meals," and a recorded call to prayer broadcast five times daily. AIUSA aims for Americans to know the feeling of being "almost totally isolated, where you're put in stress positions that are extremely painful."

In truth, prisoners with good behavior at Gitmo are also allowed to socially interact and even play a little soccer.

Amnesty even screwed up the colors; detainees wear tan, not orange. But other than that, this "replica" is dead on.

It's no surprise that to paint America in a bad light, Amnesty's resorting to spreading lies and enemy propaganda.

Not that I can really blame them. It's hard to imagine too many Americans getting worked up over terrorists being denied turndown service.
