Regarding the claims about the treatment of the "prisoners" from Afghanistan, these are now false as well. The prisoners are provided with comfortable living conditions, food, water, clothing, religious artifacts and religious chaplains, etc. Everything they would need to have a comfortable life. -- The Philadelphia Talk Radio Politics and Opinion Forum

[> [> [> Most Taliban and al Qaeda prisoners are NOT US citizens, Chris. They are out to kill US citizens and other non-Muslim people, including Jews, Chris. The US is treating the prisoners in Guantanamo very well. They are doing far better than if they were living an a cave with little or no food, water, medicine, sunshine, etc. There is a difference. -- William, 03:49:34 03/26/03 Wed (cache-mtc-ah04.proxy.aol.com/64.12.96.169)

[> [> [> [> Let's give them the choice, then. Imprisonment without family contact in Guantanamo, or return to their caves. Open up the gates and let's see what happens. -- Chris Henry, 06:18:39 03/27/03 Thu (cache8-2.ruh.isu.net.sa/212.138.47.27)
