“Robert Spencer incarnates intellectual courage when, all over the world, governments, intellectuals, churches, universities and media crawl under a hegemonic Universal Caliphate’s New Order. His achievement in the battle for the survival of free speech and dignity of man will remain as a fundamental monument to the love of, and the self-sacrifice for, liberty.”

They claim they were tortured. Suuure.
That's straight out of the Al Qaeda playbook.
But here's how *some* detainees - I won't say all, but some, and maybe a good few - routinely behaved, once captured and on their way to Gitmo, and then while they were there.
(Don't read on, if you are eating or drinking anything whilst sitting at your computer).

'The Religion of Peace.
'Take a look at some of the news reports that come out from time to time regarding the circumsizing [sic] of women. Cutting out the clitoris, and often cutting off the labia.
'You will find that it happens in the Sudan, Nigeria, Ethiopia, etc., and sometimes among immigrant groups in the West (yeah, even here in Texas). Mostly Muslims.
'The more I learn about these people the more disgusted I become.
' I am a fifty-something year old lawyer.
'I have been a police commissioner and, later, spent three months on a grand jury in a major city. I participated in the criminal indictment of over 1,400 people for felony crimes. Rape, murder, all the rest.
'And I am filled with awe and revulsion at the constant stream of revelations of this Religion of Peace.
'It seems to me that evil (and islam and its fervent practioners are surely evil) has the ability to fascinate its victims and observers so thoroughly that they are immobilized--like a cobra fascinates its prey.
'People, most people, the public at large if you will, are going through great contortions of mind to excuse, overlook, ignore, or explain the horrendous atrocities that are perpetrated in the name of islam every hour of every day, over and over and over, one bizarre outrage after another.
(Now for the kicker - dda)
'Through my work as a lawyer, I was introduced to a young soldier, about 20, who was visiting his mother while on leave about two years ago.
'He was in a transportation unit, and had flown on the flight (or one of the flights) carrying prisioners from Afghanistan to Gitmo.
'He told me that it was terrible duty.
'The prisoners would defecate in their pants, and although they were chained, some managed to squeeze their hands down and grab a handfull.
'They would throw this excrement on the guards as best and as often as they could.
' I have heard reports, from others, that they have done the same thing at Gitmo.
'Of course, there, semen is often the projectile of choice, particularly for women guards.
'The prisoners refer to this process as "anointing" the guards.
'I serioulsy doubt if this ritual is limited to Gitmo, and when I hear of some Iraqi or Afghan prisoner being chained up in his own filth, I suspect that it is a punishment for such an anointment.
'The guards letting the prisioner have a taste of his own medicine.
'Anointment. The evil sacrament.'

I may be wrong about this - the older gentlemen here, with better knowledge of WWII, are free to correct me if I am - but I don't think any Japanese, or German prisoners of the Allies, or Allied prisoners of the Germans or Japanese, ever resorted to such puerile and revolting practices, no matter how much they detested those who had captured and imprisoned them.
