The Word B

what does the "W" really stand for? it must be for "wanker." i woke up this morning to hear that bush jr. and his mates are considering to never ever release the detainees that are locked up at the guantanamo bay facility the US government is running in cuba. what a complete joke and farce which laughs in the face of democracy, the american constitution, civil liberties, and the idea of freedom- the same cause that has america fighting wars all over the world in the name of. why are they being held in the first place? they are suspected terrorists. but what is a terrorist really? are they simply the ragheads from the middle east the the american government would have us believe, or could they be the ones dropping explosives on men, women, and children from planes flying overhead? of the 500 or so detainees in guantanamo bay prison, only 4 have had any charges laid against them. think about that. i would hope that it makes you question what exactly the "forces of freedom" are doing in iraq and afghanistan in the first place.
if you ask the two top officials in washington, their response would be "freedom and democracy." although if they were being tortured in guantanamo like the other inmates living there (some for nearly 4 years now) i am sure they would tell you something very different, "oil and guns, money and power." welcome to the american politics of dick'n'bush.
