Read this to find out what a real torture center is like. I wish this would lay to rest the claims that Gitmo is like a Gulag, but I doubt it. Here's a sample:

Marines on an operation to eliminate insurgents that began Friday broke through the outside wall of a building in this small rural village to find a torture center equipped with electric wires, a noose, handcuffs, a 574-page jihad manual - and four beaten and shackled Iraqis.



Incidentally, I was at a wedding this weekend and asked someone if they ever read my blog. He said he looked at it, but isn't interested in politics, and described my blog as, "blah blah blah, I love Bush, blah blah blah." I'm tired of that attitude from people. Seeing as liberals are supposed to be all nuanced, they are surprisingly black or white about everything. Let's just say, for instance, that I know a guy that I don't consider a friend, but I don't dislike him either. I hear someone else saying this guy likes to steal money from homeless people. Well I may not love this guy, but I also don't think he steals money from homeless people, so I defend him. That does not mean I love him, or even like him, it just means that I know him well enough to know he doesn't steal money from homeless people. Bush is the victim of ridiculous accusations on a daily basis from many people, and even if I don't love him, he's my President, and I'm going to defend him from ridicilous accusations. If people stopped making so many unfounded verbal assaults on the guy, then I'd have more time to criticize him for legitimate concerns. A perfect example is Fahrenheit 9/11. It's ridiculous that Bush set up 9/11 with Saudi oil people, but that was Moore's basic assertion. The right spent so much time defending him on that front that they had little energy left to say, "Hey, there are still some problems here, even though what Moore said is completely wrong." So stop attacking Bush in a nonsensical manner, and you'll see me, other conservatives, criticize him for legit things more often.
