Report from GITMO


[Note: Gordon Cucullu is a Retired Army Green Beret Lt. Colonel. His latest book is Separated at Birth: How North Korea Became the Evil Twin.]

I was in GITMO last Friday. We interviewed the troops, observed ongoing interrogations, inspected detention facilities, and ate detainee chow. Bottom line: imprisonment at GITMO is probably a lot more pleasant than in any US Federal maximum security prison. There is absolutely NO TORTURE going on at GITMO. In fact some of us thought treatment was too lenient. But it gets results.

I'll have more for readers later in the week. Meanwhile, be advised that some of the best trained, most dedicated professional American soldiers and sailors are defending freedom by the often onerous, always dangerous task of guarding these terrorist thugs.

Update: See this post above for the full report.
