GOOD OLD MOE

You have to give Moe credit. When he comes up with a plan he sticks to it. In case you do not remember Colonel Moe he is the Colonel who drafted a detailed propaganda plan for the military. I described the plan in an earlier post on Huffington: Cully's Mentor MOE and His Six Point Plan . Also if you look down the right side of this page you will see his name pops up in a few of my blogs (he is like the gift that keeps on giving). Seems Moe has alot of time on his hands now that he is done trying to intimidate David Hicks' military attorney (oops on that one, huh Moe?) .... and now that the military commissions are at a standstill because the military court says it doesn't have jurisidiction to hear the enemy combatant tribunals.

So how is Moe spending his down time?... he is just doing what comes naturally.... telling tall tales about the kinder gentler Guantanamo that he has come to know and love. And he even has pictures to try to convince you that all of the habeas lawyers are lying about conditions. So now you can see a picture of the cell that my client, Mr. Al-GHizzawi spends 22 to 24 hours a day in... alone... with no one to talk to, no natural light or fresh air, one book a week to read...(if he is lucky) and "recreation time" in a 4X4 foot cage (where he can either stand in the blistering heat or during the dead of night.... depending on the schedule)...

Boy Moe these men, who have been charged with no wrong doing, should be happy shouldn't they? I mean the cells are probably cleaner than the ones the Koreans used when they kept our men in similar isolation... so what is the problem huh?

Well one of the problems Moe is that we use to pride ourselves on not being North Korea.... not even a cleaner version of North Korea...

And as you know Moe, the evidence against my client was described as "garbage" by his panel members (a nicer description than I would have given it) but Mr. Al-Ghizzawi shouldn't complain should he? He should just quietly sit in his cell and wait and see if someone might get around to reviewing his situation. You never know it could happen...

I guess you are right Moe, we just don't recognize what a wonderful place Guantanamo is. Just one question Moe, if it were our guys (and gals) who were being held under these conditions, with this kind of evidence and for a similar duration (perhaps forever) would it still be ok?


If you want to see Moe's latest piece of Propaganda take a look at: "Defense of Guantanamo Bay" in the Yale law journal...
