CIA American Heroes (New Charity Slogan: "Help Waterboard a "Journalist" Today)

Yes, the anti-American, despicable Associated Press, and AOL, are promoting today the "first" video/glimpse of interrogation/"conditions" inside Gitmo--a video of portions of the interrogation of a 15 year old Canadian citizen picked up in AFGHANISTAN after "allegedly" killing a U.S. soldier with a grenade.  Here are excerpts from the usual, disgraceful, anti-American propaganda:

"The video shows Khadr weeping, his face buried in his hands."

"He tells the agent, 'You don't care about me.'

"The video provides insight into the effects of prolonged interrogation and detention on the Guantanamo prisoner. ....."

The above is the type of anti-American propaganda  the "Anti-American, Despicable Associated Press" (must always not official name in first reference) considers "news".

American Heroes: Thos CIA people who DESTROYED the tapes of those few terrorists who were waterboarded. If you want to see waterboarding, you can watch a tape of a "journalist" VOLUNTEER (there is a tape of Christopher Hithcens out there, and I hope other journalists have done it--worthy charity: "Contribute to waterboarding a "journalist" today!")How many Americans would the AP (and rest of mainstream media) KILL if they had a waterboarding tape to spread anti-American propaganda endlessly around the world, to be repeated over and over again. The mind boggles.

Note how the above story illustrates the insanity of treating this prisoner as a person acccused of a CRIME.  Does it make any sense to regard it as a CRIME to kill a U.S. soldier in Afghanistan in a firefight (or even in a sneak attack).  Of course not.  When we captured Nazis in World War II, were our soldiers supposed to gather EVIDENCE at every capture to PROVE (in a hearing with LAWYERS representing the captured enemy) that the ENEMY was really an enemy combatant acting against U.S. soldiers?  That would be silly, but no sillier than talking about the "alleged" actions of an ENEMY picked up on the battlefield in Afghanistan.

Solution (of course):  :Interrogate IN AFGHANISTAN AND IRAQ, and then turn "enemy combatants over to local authorities uncer some kind of informal arrangement.  It is highly doubtful that this will be as GOOD for prisoners as Gitmo, but it mainly solves our problem.  No lawyers.  For the left, of course, this is all about anti-American propaganda, and they will just try to generate it elsewhere (but without such an easy target and American courts and lawyers).  We are surely using this "solution".

P.S.  Kenda, my older daughter and rare blog cartoonist,  referred to the Discovery Channel program where "historians "test" ancient torture devices to see if they work--AS IF anyone ever had any doubt.  This was in her comment to my entry entitled "Waterboarding Journalists" describing  this  new/old idea of Christopher Hitchens to do a dramatic "reenactment" of waterboarding in the Discovery Channel spirit of scientific inquiry.  Kedan pointed out how DUMB this all is since NO ONE doubts that this stuff--including the interrogation you might get from the police as to a normal crime--is unpleasant.
