Give them cable.

Once again Guantanamo bay rears its ugly head. The UN demands its closure. Kofi Annan & Desmond Tutu voiced there concerns. A British judge ruled that it was not behavior you would expect from a civilised country. And as always the US administration said get stuffed. And since they have bigger guns than everyone else, we live with that. Indeed US lackey Tony Blair positively beams and dribbles with joy at their response.
Lets face it, Simple George has got it into his peanut sized brain that long term imprisonment without trial is fair, just and part of the war against terrorism rather than an act of terrorism and nothing is going to change his mind.
Besides, 9/11 is still fresh in everybody's mind and America bears a grudge like no other nation. Decades after the Cuban missile crisis, with Cuba no threat to anyone but specialist cigar manufacturers, the USA still refuses to lift sanctions. Castro wouldn't to kneel and tug his forelock. He aint ever going to be forgiven. Same with the guys in Guantanamo. They look like they might be Islamic Arab terrorists. They aint ever coming out and no damn fair trial is gonna interfere with that.
Ok. So lock them up forever. But why turn the whole world (except Tony of course) against you by treating them like shit. So cut out the beatings, the dogs, the cold showers & the force feeding. Give them Coca Cola. Supersize them on MacD's. Provide Starbucks coffee and Hershey bars eighteen times a day. And If you really want to hurt them, give them endless friends re-runs on cable. Nothing like back to back Will and Grace with laxative adverts every three minutes to break a mans spirit.

Damn those lucky Cubans, I want an embargo.

I had an embargo once - gave me a jippy tummy.

Reality TV is the way forward, give them driving school and Chantelle, the cast of Hollyoakes and that ugly bird from Atomic Kitten (yeah I know - which one!).

If all else fails then call in the Evangelical Baptists.
