Let Them Eat... Steak

Duncan Hunter, California Congressman and Chairman of the House Armed Service Committee had this to say on Fox News regarding the detention practices at Guantanamo Bay:

HUNTER: How do we treat these people? I sat down yesterday with the menu from Guantanamo so the average American can understand how we're brutalizing people at Guantanamo and I've got it right here. They're going to be having orange glazed chicken, fresh fruit Group A, steamed peas and mushrooms, rice pilaf, another form of torture for the hijackers. We treat them very well. If you go back to Sunday, it looks like it's lemon baked fish as an entrée, and if you look at the food and you also look at the list that has been prepared for the Armed Services Committee, which lists abuses of the way that you can abuse a prisoner, feeding them the food that we feed our soldiers, that is the MREs, which is the new C rations, is considered actually to be a form of abuse, something probably the manufactures of C rations or the new rations don't agree with.
Now treating terrorists better than American Soldiers is inhumane. It is the Burque Boy’s humble opinion that the whining about Guantanamo Bay is led by those (including American liberals and other enemies of the U.S.) that unconditionally hate the U.S. and their policies. Donald Rumsfeld could personally feed them lobster and give daily pedicures, and they would somehow find problem with that.
