Comments on: Ex-Guantánamo Bay prisoner dies in suicide attack in Iraq: Guantánamo Bay, the perfect recruitment and training camp for terrorists http://gal.darkervision.com/2008/05/08/ex-guantanamo-bay-prisoner-dies-in-suicide-attack-guantanamo-bay-the-perfect-recruitment-and-training-camp-for-prisoners/ I read the news today, oh boy Sun, 20 Jul 2008 13:39:47 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: Jantar http://gal.darkervision.com/2008/05/08/ex-guantanamo-bay-prisoner-dies-in-suicide-attack-guantanamo-bay-the-perfect-recruitment-and-training-camp-for-prisoners/#comment-11118 Jantar Thu, 08 May 2008 15:55:34 +0000 http://gal.darkervision.com/?p=2141#comment-11118 Thanks for the comment and the kind offer to buy a bridge but I'm nobody's patriot - and I can't help it if you can't read. I didn't say the guy was innocent, though I will not trust anything the Pentagon PR machine comes out with 'sight unseen', as it were. I'm not saying that they are lying in this case but they've been trying to flog their own various Brooklyn Bridges for longer than any of us amateurs. As far as one can believe any story in the papers, I have no immediate reason to disbelieve that the guy deserted from the Kuwaiti army and I said so in the above piece. I also think that he did most probably blow himself up - and I said this in the column as well. I also gave my opinion about suicide bombers and other death junkies and it's not a favourable one. It is funny how so many people when they disagree with someone else then either don't bother to read or listen to what the other person writes and says - or are so blind in their own zealous beliefs that they can't even read properly anymore. I do not mind discussing things and I have no problem admitting when I think that I am wrong about one thing or the other. God knows I'm wrong often enough. I find it extremely tiresome though when people don't even bother to obey the one and only real rule of having a discussion, which is that in order to come to an EXCHANGE of views, one also needs to listen to the other side's arguments, J Thanks for the comment and the kind offer to buy a bridge but I’m nobody’s patriot - and I can’t help it if you can’t read.

I didn’t say the guy was innocent, though I will not trust anything the Pentagon PR machine comes out with ’sight unseen’, as it were. I’m not saying that they are lying in this case but they’ve been trying to flog their own various Brooklyn Bridges for longer than any of us amateurs.

Obviously, he was a simple, peaceful, and even Moderate Moslem who was driven to violence when he realized that he had gained over thirty pounds on the scanty rations and harsh treatment at Gitmo and thus could no longer fit into his sucide vest, err, his simple peasant garb, and purchased a new set of clothes without realizing he was shopping at a secret Zionist clothing shop in Baghdad, and was just hoping his sheep had gone to Mosul when the clothing detonated, killing the poor man and all those unfortunate Kurds. Definitely Bush's fault. BTW, I have this bridge in Brooklyn for sale, cheap to a patriot like you.
