Gitmo's hellish menu

Let's look at the "torturous" menu that we force those peace-loving Islamofascists at Gitmo to eat, as reported by Rep. Duncan Hunter:
"For Sunday they're going to be having Orange Glazed Chicken, Fresh Fruit Roupee, Steamed Peas and Mushrooms, Rice Pilaf - we treat them very well," he told Fox.

Last night, Hunter said, the U.S. "torture victims" enjoyed the same kind of gourmet fare, including an entree of "Lemon-baked Fish."

On the other hand, feeding the detainees MREs, the standard fare given to our troops on the front lines, is strictly verboten - considered an "abuse" under restrictions imposed by Congress, Hunter said.
Yep, you read it right. Bloodthirsty savages get to eat better than our troops. Leave it to a liberal (and our wobbly-kneed politicians of both parties) to think that's more acceptable than forcing Gitmo's innocent victims to consume MREs. Now, if the lemon-baked fish is the same kind you'd find at Barnhill's or Golden Corral, then you'd have a point about torture!

Rep. Hunter finished with this sad-but-true observation:
"In fact," he said, "if you did that for American GIs - if you had a call to prayer five times a day - the ACLU would sue on the basis that we violated the separation between church and state."
Indeed, the ACLU (aka the Anti-Christianity Liberals Union) would sue.
