And then the news came out that the inhumane treatment was coming FROM the inmates, towards our Heroes!
Now, if you can believe it, the Moonbattery is concerned with the fact that the food is TOO GOOD at Gitmo.
Yep, the evil U.S. empire is now malevolently fattening terrorists:
High-calorie diet fattens Gitmo inmates

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico - A high-calorie diet combined with life in the cell block — almost around the clock in some cases — is making detainees at Guantanamo Bay fat.
Meals totaling a whopping 4,200 calories per day are brought to their cells, well above the 2,000 to 3,000 calories recommended for weight maintenance by U.S. government dietary guidelines. And some inmates are eating everything on the menu.
One detainee has almost doubled in weight, to 410 pounds, said Navy Cmdr. Robert Durand, spokesman for the detention facilities at Guantanamo, a U.S. Navy station in southeast Cuba...
Bear in mind that there is exercise equipment at Gitmo; the detainees simply aren't using it. So now this is our fault, too. Some terrorist stuffs himself stupid and can't put the twinkies down long enough to get to the exercise equipment, and it's our fault.
And this on a day when news comes that Fred Phelps and his Westboro wackos are going to picket the funerals of the little Amish girls murdered by another complete nutcase - because PA's governor ticked them off when he appeared on Fox News and [gasp] didn't say very flattering things about them.
Our priorities are seriously out of whack in this country when those two stories have equal billing, and there's more outrage at the hi-cal diet at Gitmo than at twisted freaks like Phelps.
