Guantanamo a "gulag"?

Please.....spare us your self-righteous indignation.


It's nothing of the sort.


Noteworthy:


"Critics liken Guantánamo Bay to Soviet gulags, but reality does not match their hyperbole. The supporters of David Hicks, the detainee popularly known as the “Australian Taliban,” asserted that Mr. Hicks was mistreated and wasting away. But at his March trial, where he pleaded guilty to providing material support to a terrorist organization, he and his defense team stipulated he was treated properly. Mr. Hicks even thanked service members, and as one Australian newspaper columnist noted, he appeared in court 'looking fat, healthy and tanned, and cracking jokes.'"
