Deafening silence
It is astounding that the arrest of three possible Muslim spies or subversives among the staff at Guantanamo Bay has not received more attention. A chaplain who is a Chinese-American convert has now been charged with improperly handling classified information; the other two, a Syrian and a man of Egyptian origin, face more serious charges of espionage and helping the enemy, and lying and handling classified information. Whatever one thinks of Guantanamo, the fact that the Americans' principal detention centre for what they describe as some of the most dangerous people in the world has apparently been infiltrated by no fewer than three enemy agents indicates two things: the scale and geographical reach of the war against the west, and the incompetent complacency of the Americans in the face of that threat.

In light of this post thought you would find the following link interesting. The balmy, comfortable conditions of Guantanamo Bay - so comfortable, indeed, that the prisoners are all gaining weight - are still not enough for the self-righteous, hectoring lefty media. That is why people can infiltrate. Because every measure the US takes to ensure that this remains a camp for people who are apparently - they haven't had their tribunals yet - the sworn enemies of the United States and the West, is pounced on by the liberal media as being somehow unfair to terrorists. These people are alive thanks to the American sense of justice for all. They're alive because America believes in openness. In most other countries, they would have been buried in unmarked graves two years ago. If America appears to be too hard on the terrorists, the lefty media gets an attack of the vapours. If they make some mistakes by being so inclusive that they don't apply stringent checks to all who get in, the media has a swoonfest protesting the ineptitude. Let them stew.
