Anything but that!

I'm probably over linking news stories to the Independent but i can't be bothered buying any other paper just now so tough, also i do believe it is one of the better ones available at present. Although at least 50% of the reason i buy it is because it has went to a more compact size and is possible to read on the bus without having arms like the Andrew Marr caricature on Dead Ringers or having to fold it over which i find immensely irritating.

Anyway, getting back to the point, this news story had me wincing in empathy with the people held indefinately at Guantanamo Bay. Forget being stripped, forced to bark like a dog, having your religion belittled, physical torture. It is completely inhuman to force people to listen to the music of Christina Aguilera! Obviously i am making light of a serious issue, well a little bit it really isn't on making people listen to such dreadful rubbish but i'm sure it's not quite the worst done to those that have been held there. The least of their problems not being the fact that they are being held indefinately without charges necesarily being brought. If the USA is fighting a war on terror and aiming to protect the democracy that they are so keen to foist on others i would suggest they go look up a dictionary to perhaps reaffirm with themselves that they understand the meaning of the word.
