Guantanamo Attacks Orchestrated With UN Report Release?

Is it just coincidence that the minor uprising at the Guantanamo Bay detention facility for Al Queda and Taliban terrorists happened to coincide with the release of a UN report critical of the U.S. facility? (That same report whose investigators never visited Gitmo, nor talked to anyone by U.S. critics?)

Oh, while we are at it, the Euro News, a FRENCH online publication, might want to resist using the infamous photo from the frat party at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq when it does a story on Guantanamo. First of all, it's a glaring factual error. Second, if you want to compare Guantanamo Bay to jails in France, then BRING IT ON.

Last October, the European Council's commissioner on human rights described the jails in France' Palais de Justice as the "worst he has ever seen...squalid and inhumane...dungeons...It is incredible that people are imprisoned in such conditions, without ventilation and without natural light. I have never seen a worse prison."

The palais is situated on the beautiful L'île de la Cité, a few hundred yards from Notre Dame cathedral. But in its "dépôt", human rights organisations have uncovered evidence of prisoners, mainly illegal immigrants, going without food, drink and lavatory paper as they huddle together for warmth. There have been numerous violent attacks and cases of detainees mutilating themselves and smearing their blood on the walls.

Compared to this, Guantanamo is a holiday camp! And yet the UN and pompous posers on human rights seem content to concentrate all their energy on the U.S.
