IT'S ALL ABOUT CONTROL

When I first read the headline for this story about how cushy Gitmo has become, I was all ready to be upset.

Then I remembered "The Green Mile".

When you're in control of a prisoner, your job is to keep him calm and not inclined to make trouble. You do this with a combination of rewards & punishments.

I'm not in a position to armchair-quarterback what form those rewards take.

As long as those terrorist bastards are compliant, they can have steak & lobster for all I care. The point is, they're still locked up and not killing civilized human beings.

That's what's really important.
