Another “neeeeever mind” from President Obama, via Mike Gonzalez at Heritage:

It’s old news to anyone who’s been reading this site, but I’m glad to see the truth about Gitmo guard abuse getting out. And I’m glad it’s getting a siren from the Drudge Report. AP has the report with thanks to the Landmark Legal Foundation for pursuing the FOIA requests. I’ve mentioned before the detainee [...]

The manipulative detainees at Guantanamo Bay reportedly used the generous civil liberties protections we gave them to plot their suicide pact. Are you surprised? WaPo:
Three suicides at the U.S. detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, may have been part of a broader plot by detainees who were using confidential lawyer-client papers and envelopes to pass [...]

Charles Johnson at LGF has the outrageous details: “The guards were lured into a cell by a staged suicide attempt, then ambushed by the prisoners.” He highlights this passage from the Reuters report:

According to an article in yesterday’s New York Times, a young Guantanamo Bay detainee identified as “M.C.” claims he was “suspended from hooks in the ceiling for hours at a time with his feet barely missing the floor, and that he was beaten during those sessions.” M.C. also claims he was [...]

At his May 31st press conference, President Bush’s response to reckless claims about Guantanamo Bay was inadequate and superficial at best.
Unfortunately, that performance was Reaganesque compared to W.’s interview last night with FNC’s Neil Cavuto. Here is the full transcript. This is the relevant portion (with a few of my comments in brackets):
CAVUTO: Speaking of [...]

In this morning’s coverage of Koran abuse allegations at Gitmo, the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, USA Today, Boston Globe, Reuters, and Associated Press all mention in their lead paragraph that the Pentagon found no credible evidence that a guard flushed the Koran down a toilet.

Former L.A. mayor and current California education chief Richard Riordan made some weird comments to a little girl named “Isis” last week.
