Gitmo Horrors Continue: Detainees Limited to One Ice Cream

By Doug Powers  •  September 26, 2010 10:21 PM

**Written by Doug Powers

When the jack-booted era of Bush/Cheney came to a close I thought such human rights nightmares had ended, but apparently this kind of thing is still allowed in a so-called civilized society. Let’s just call it what it really is: Dairyboarding!

Detainees’ diets at Guantanamo Bay have been a controversial issue for some time and now the U.S. prison is said to be rationing ice cream.

The frozen dessert is allegedly being tightly measured, with only one ice cream allowed for each of its 147 detainees.

Journalist for The Miami Herald, Carol Rosenberg, photographed a refrigerator at Guantanamo, with two signs reading ‘DETAINEE FOOD ONLY’ and ‘Only 1 Ice Cream For each detainee!’

Even worse, Gitmo insiders tell me that if a detainee is thought to have information that could save lives, they’re threatened with being denied Magic Shell for up to a week. I’ve even heard that a US soldier once forced a detainee to watch as he tried to flush a pint of Chunky Monkey down a toilet, though I have yet to confirm that.

How must it makes detainees feel every time they see the US president, who not only promised to close Gitmo but to also declare life necessities such as ice cream to be a human right, publicly mocking those suffering under Gitmo’s frozen dessert limit:

null

Unbelievably cruel taunting.

This isn’t the Hope & Change I didn’t vote for.

    *I say increase their diet of lead as we would have done during WWII; Only the names and faces have changed, as the danger to our way of life is threatened just the same now as it was then!
    *What are the odds the fellow to the left in the picture still goes out in public with the Hope t-shirt on; I’m guessing he might be drying his car with it by now.

    What ever happened to Obama’s promise to close Gitmo???? Must have just been too busy.

    To make up for this travesty Michelle Obama is sending down the following:

    A special recipe of pickled, hand-picked ingredients from the White House Kitchen Garden, including sun gold tomatoes, okra, cucumbers, chocolate bell peppers, carrots, lemon verbena, and fresh herbs are presented in jars with the First Lady’s signature. The jars are topped with original artwork done by California artists, Michael Cronan and Karin Hibma, who were inspired by a photo of Mrs. Obama tending to the garden with children and a wheelbarrow.
    [...]
    Each gift is presented inside a one-of-a-kind, hand woven basket made of Maplewood harvested in the Midwest by The Longaberger Company, which is a family-owned and operated American company that has been in business for over 100 years. Each basket is lined with a khaki canvas insert. A nickel tag is affixed to the outside of each bag and engraved with the words, “Made Exclusively for Michelle Obama.”

    If I were in charge of Gitmo, I would grant each prisoner a conjugal visit with a beautiful lady. I would present the lady as a ‘virgin’ – unspoiled and inexperienced ready to please the prisoner’s desires.

    To source these ‘virgins’, I would draw from the sex trade and those who have been diagnosed with STI (sexually transmitted infections).

    After the encounter, I would inform the prisoners through elegant letterhead and addressed to appear to be through Allah, that instead of them sleeping with pure virgins, they infact slept with ladies that have been around the track many, many times and have various STI’s.

    I would provide a breakdown of the girls infectious history so that the prisoner could know what he likely had been exposed to. And again, I would present this information as being written by their Islamic god.

    I am not saying it would accomplish much, but it would make me feel good about myself indeed.

    Coke – 2L per day

    If Ms. Rosenburg went to one of the gallies on base, she would have noticed that there is a similar sign on the freezers with the ice cream.

    It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that GTMO is an island and a barge comes once a week with different supplies on it. Of course you have to ration. You are on an island in a hostile area.

    They’re in prison. They don’t need any ice cream. There should be a basic, healthy meal offered. They’re religious dietary requirements are irrelevant. They should have thought of that before trying to kill people.

    And regarding that photo of Obama…..So much ignorance in just one ice cream parlor.

    I heard the GITMO detainees were also going to receive an Ipod with Obama’s speeches on them, but the plan was nixed when the UN told the Obama administration that to do so would bring about war crimes charges agaisnt the administration for cruel and unusual punishment.

    Seeing that the detainees have been getting a 5,500-6,000 calorie-a-day diet while our recommended daily allowance is 2,000-2,500, having less ice cream in their diet would be a positive thing. The military changed strategies from making them more like Americans to making their bones more brittle. I get their evil plan now.

    We used to make ice cream for the local politicians when i was “down on the farm”. Two cups of bull semen to a half gallon of heavy cream. They loved it. Couldn’t even tell it was in it. Now these pig haters down in Gitmo—- we have so many ways to torture without them being any the wiser. Imagine the shame if it were to be revealed that “Arnold” the boar from Bucks County donated several quarts a month to the ice cream makers down in Git. Those guys would swear off ice cream forever. Maybe Michelle “Moo Moo” ObamaYamaDingDong would too.

    I mean, I’m just sayin.
