Tell A Friend

That Zanetti lied about the real mission at Gitmo is not terribly surprising.  I’m sure he was just being a good little Nazi, following orders from the White House PR flack in charge.  But why do the editors and publisher at The American Legion believe their readership so stupid as to believe this nonsense?  Considering all of the evidence to the contrary, from reports by the Red Cross, Physicians for Human Rights, ABC News and even the FBI, trying to spray paint a happy face on the blood-stained walls at Gitmo seems a bit superfluous not to mention extremely insulting.

 

Many Americans, including some in Congress, have been calling for the closure of Guantanamo Naval Base.  Should future government officials decide to go that route, perhaps they could contact the Disney Corporation about making a bid on the facility.  Disney could turn Guantanamo into the theme park Zanetti portrays the naval base as.  It would also be fitting metaphorically, because the only place where Zanetti’s description of Guantanamo could be believed is in Never Neverland.
