Many United States Prisoners Wished That They Were Incarcerated At Guantanamo (Gitmo)

If one were to read about the treatment of alleged terrorists housed at Guantanamo, you would think that this is the Shangri-La of prisons - notwithstanding the clarion calls for Gitmo to be closed because, mostly, of the specious claims made by some Human Rights activists… who see Gitmo as being the template for 'human rights' abuses. The problem is that there are Federal prisoners who sincerely wished that they were housed at Gitmo because of its four-star treatment of the foreign prisoners being housed at Guantanamo. Case in point, in Pennsylvania, the prisoners rations are being substantially curtailed and even necessities like medication are being rationed to the detriment of some prisoners who need these life-saving medicines... like Insulin to survive.   

There are no United Nations advocates speaking out on behalf of these United States prisoners, who, incidentally have committed no violent crimes, but, yet are being treated like third-world citizens. The American media will not be championing these prisoners’ human rights nor will they be waxing poetic about the egregious breeches of the prisoners’ Eight Amendment’s rights, apparently authorized by the authorities who govern the Federal prison in Pennsylvania. This lack of coverage by our usually intrepid media is typical because the plight of the Federal prisoners in Pennsylvania is not a “sexy story.” The media’s salivation in covering this type of story is apparent only when it is coupled with “bashing” America… authoring lauded prose for would-be-terrorists whose beliefs and actions are to maim and kill innocents with extreme prejudice.

Now you know why when some of these alleged terrorists and Gitmo detainees when they are told that they are scheduled to go back to their native countries, they protest vociferously. Many of these foreign jihadists had never been given the amenities, much of which are luxuries compared to what the prisoners in the Federal Pennsylvania Penal system are afforded. We can be certain that the rations are not curtailed at Gitmo nor are there necessary medications being rationed to these terrorists who would, if they had the chance, do our country grave harm. Such is the nature of how twisted we have become in these United States, and I too would be taciturn and indolent had I not been made aware by someone I know ‘serving time’ in what is becoming the Gulag of the Federal prison in Pennsylvania - what irony for the state known for its “brotherly love.”
