Ok, for years now we have been treated to the rants of self-styled "human rights activists" about how eeee.vviiillll GITMO is, how it is the 21st century version of Auschwitz II-Birkenau. But now it seems that some of the detainees like it there.
Detainees say Hell No, We Won't Go!The Obama administration would quickly send home six Algerians held at the military detention center at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, but for one problem: The men don't want to go. Given the choice between repatriation and incarceration, the men choose Gitmo, according to their lawyers.
A panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia overturned Kessler late Thursday, granting the government's emergency appeal. Much of the litigation remains under seal, but the government argues that legal precedent makes clear the executive branch's prerogative to decide where to transfer a detainee.
Mohammed's attorneys declined to comment. Human rights activists said they would appeal, possibly to the Supreme Court.
Hey, clean running water, clean clothing and housing, three hots and a cot, books, TV, no sectarian fanatics trying to cut off your head with a dull spoon. What's not to like? I bet that this is the best life any of them have ever had.
Maybe the "human rights activists" should be in Algeria staging protests, since it is there that the violations will likely occur, not here.
