Liberals Object To “Trash Talking” Gitmo Detainees

WASHINGTON (AP) - Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld insisted Tuesday that the United States is treating terrorist suspects held at Guantanamo Bay humanely and in accordance with international rules. But critics, including European Union officials and human rights groups, said the Americans were using highly irregular tactics against the prisoners including trash-talking and "momma-bashing" and this could lower international support for the war against terrorism.
``Trash-talking of the detainees in Guantanamo Bay is proper, it's humane, it's appropriate, and it is fully consistent with American conventions,'' Rumsfeld said. America's priority is to undermine future aggression by dealing a harsh blow to the egos of the detainees. If that necessitates calling someone's mother a big Fat ho, then so be it."
The 158 prisoners, mostly suspected al-Qaida and Taliban fighters, were flown to the U.S. military base in Cuba after being captured in the Afghanistan war. Rumsfeld said the first few days in the prison camp would be a true test of how tough these "fag-boys" really are. Critics reported during the first day in the specially designed camps, several dozen marines shouted obscenities and proceeded to make provocative comments about the female members of the captives' families. During the de-infestation and showers, armed soldiers pointed and laughed at the inmates' genitalia.
U.S. Officials were quick to point out that the prisoners were allowed to go to sleep that night accompanied by music. A recording of Congress singing God Bless America was piped into the cages through specially designed headphones the inmates were forced to wear. "Now, I don't know about you, but the lilting tenor of a singing Ted Kennedy is no torture," Rumsfeld said. "We didn't even charge them for the headphones."
