The Other Side of the Poor Under Represented Gitmo Detainee Story

A report is out that details the much ignored other side of the Gitmo detainee story that has been underreported and concealed by the mainstream media. The hack editors at many of the major worldwide newspapers fall all over themselves to print alleged stories of military abuse committed by U.S. soldiers above the fold. But rarely do you see the same kind of attention being paid to the other side of the story.

I often ask myself why I have to search for stories that paint the U.S. military in a more positive light? The only answer I can come up with is that the editors and most of the pedestrian staff at America’s premiere media outlets are a bunch of self loathing hypocrites who hold the enemies of the United States in higher regard than our sons and daughters serving in the U.S. military.

Thus you have to look past the New York Times, Washington Post and Editor & Publisher to find this Gitmo Guards Often Attacked by Detainees story over at Brietbart.com. You will note that this is an AP story; one that could have easily been picked up by the mainstream media if not for their inherent bias against our success in prosecuting the War on Terror.

The prisoners held at Guantanamo Bay during the war on terror have attacked their military guards hundreds of times, turning broken toilet parts, utensils, radios and even a bloody lizard tail into makeshift weapons, Pentagon reports say.

Incident reports reviewed by The Associated Press indicate Military Police guards are routinely head-butted, spat upon and doused by “cocktails” of feces, urine, vomit and sperm collected in meal cups by the prisoners.

Of course, an AP story sympathetic to the U.S. military wouldn’t be complete without a thorough rebuttal by an opposing point of view. In this case we have Moazamm Begg, former detainee and hero of the left who has written an “expose” about his Guantanamo experience.

Moazamm Begg, 38, a prisoner for more than two years at Guantanamo before being released to Great Britain, said he was suspicious of the Pentagon’s description of incidents, especially allegations that Muslim men tore their Qurans or used sperm in attacks. The Pentagon continues to publicly question Begg’s claim of innocence.

“This just doesn’t make sense _ especially since for Muslims this would be something that was disgusting, something that just wouldn’t be done,” he said. He added that some detainees told him they had mixed toothpaste and spit in the cocktails to make it look like semen.

Begg’s last statement begs for me to make the following observation. I can only assume that beheadings, the targeting of innocent children by suicide bombers and various acts of terrorist aggression done by known Muslims are not considered disgusting because I have yet to hear Begg or most other Muslims speak out or take action to stop it.

Count on it, Begg’s assessment will be the one adopted by the American left. Read the rest of the story to get a taste of what is often missing from the MSM coverage of our honorable military men and women.

If you, or the company you own gives 1 red cent to MSM publications that refuse to objectively cover the military, the War on Terror or the truth about the constant attacks on Israel then you are part of the problem. They want a war against this administration and they have dared you to wage a war on them. I hope you are following through.
