What resort? I never heard of any resort offering "Ye Olde Water Torture" as an attraction (and many of those held have not been charged, so exactly why they are there is unknown).

As for holding prisoners in ships....

My next door neighbor is being held as a "terrorist". As if this is surprising.

What does that mean?

Alanocu--just so you know I support no violent group who attacks 'Murrika...but I seek to find the causes of the attacks and not just support a knee-jerk revenge war like Bush started, the torture he put in place in desperation and idiocy....That doesn't seem to have helped much, has it? We're not safer (still only 5% of containers being checked coming in, Osama Bin-Laden still commands a stronger Al-Queda) and the Amerikan profiteers get rich on destruction. I mourned for the dead in 2001 and I mourn now for the people the USA kills every day! We have caused a hell of a lot more suffering than 9/11.
