Quote of the day

“I suggest that they level Guantanamo Bay, but they keep one small cell and they put Bush in there … and they blast some Rage Against the Machine.” —- Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine during a recent concert in San Francisco.

Is it any wonder today that some words are bantered around so frequently that the actual meaning of the word becomes lost or at the least warped? Three words come to mind.

• Racism - This one is easy. It's so over used that I think Websters may actually remove Bigot from the dictionary.
• War - What is it good for? The "anti-war" leftists banter and ramble on so much using this word that even the so called conservative media still use it for Iraq to this day. Sorry, Iraq ceased being a war when Baghdad fell in 2003. Call it a police action or whatever. It's not, by definition, any longer a war.
• Torture - Sorry folks, what we do at Guantanamo or other facilities is not torture. We do not inflict permanent physical or psychological damage to detainees or prisoners. Sleep deprivation, water boarding, intimidation, taunting, insults are not torture. They are effective interrogation techniques. All are extremely tame in comparison to what Iraqi's, North Vietnamese and Japanese have perpetrated against our soldiers. Gitmo is club Med by comparison to how Islamic terrorists treat their "hostages". I'll stack the video and photos from Abu Ghraib against the videos Al Qaeda posts any day.

It seems we have some musicians that are seeking legal action against the US for the use of their music as a means of "Torture" against prisoners and detainees at Gitmo etc... As unpleasant as it may be to have to listen to some of their music. It's not torture. Unless of course the guards or interrogation personnel are blasting the "music" in excess of 85db for extended periods. Maybe we are. I still don't give a damn. At the worst we embarrass and humiliate these vermin by comparison they cut the heads off of our people and civilians at the drop of a hat.
