Q: Who's in Gitmo?
A: Operation Scoop Up The Little Lost Lambs plucked men from distant countries and brought them to Gitmo to beat them deaf for no apparent reason. There are between 400 and 30 million people at Gitmo, and somewhere between zero and 15 million people have died there.

Hysteria and political point-scoring have turned this into a joke.
Indeed.
There are now Club Gitmo t-shirts. "What happens in Gitmo stays in Gitmo."
When you to attempt to equate the killing of six million Jews or the estimated FIFTY MILLION Soviet victims in the gulags to the interrigation techniques applied by the U.S. military at Guantanamo to the worst of the worst from Afganistan and Iraq, you should expect derision, not intelligent discourse.
I am happy to oblige.
