Dear ignorant, dumbfuck wankers: Your opinion, if you please.


Why, yes, wankers, I would like your opinion of this:

An Ex-Detainee of the U.S. Describes a 6-Year Ordeal

LAHORE, Pakistan — When Muhammad Saad Iqbal arrived home here in August after more than six years in American custody, including five at the military prison at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, he had difficulty walking, his left ear was severely infected, and he was dependent on a cocktail of antibiotics and antidepressants.

In November, a Pakistani surgeon operated on his ear, physical therapists were working on lower back problems and a psychiatrist was trying to wean him off the drugs he carried around in a white, plastic shopping bag.

The maladies, said Mr. Iqbal, 31, a professional reader of the Koran, are the result of a gantlet of torture, imprisonment and interrogation for which his Washington lawyer plans to sue the United States government.

Sure, but it's not like those nasty, homicidal Islamorastafascists deserve any better, right? Um ... hang on ...

Mr. Iqbal was never convicted of any crime, or even charged with one. He was quietly released from Guantánamo with a routine explanation that he was no longer considered an enemy combatant, part of an effort by the Bush administration to reduce the prison’s population.

Stop by later when Canada's wankers want to make it clear that, well, life's tough and shit happens. Which is cool, as long as it happens to brown people.
