If you do any crime then do it on such a large scale, do it so brazenly that if you get caught then people will be more worried about your human rights or your well-being than victims. Hold on, that don’t make no sense! Am I crazy? Or is that world is going coo-koo? Well, I have been crazy for long time and World has always been coo-koo. But the hoopla over Guantanamo jail is so pathetic, so insane, so egregiously insulting – insulting to the law abiding citizens - that it begs question on why do we even have laws in place? If I err in my judgment then I am punished severely. I have no human rights what so ever and even if I have no prior criminal record I get punished for my mistakes. On the other hand if I blow up few buildings, kill innocent civilians in tons, slit throats of kidnapped victims and then repeat this sequence again and again I am pretty sure that I will be treated as a respectable person who should be treated with dignity and should be accorded with every freaking non-existent human right on this mother earth. However ironic this may sound but that’s the reality that is unfolding in the face of Guantanamo Bay controversy.
United States created a special cell in Guantanamo beach in Cuba for the terrorists captured in Afghanistan war. I call them terrorists because they aren’t fighting for their motherland. They are fighting one, because they got no jobs and they have lots and lots of guns, second, they are big fan of their religion and they want share that love with rest of the world. Albeit, by killing rest of the world. Technically speaking these beasts are harmful for rest of the world. Unfit to leave in the society and hazard to the well-being of law-abiding citizens. This is because they would like to blow up building full of innocent citizens; they love to cut throats of kidnapped citizens and basically, uneducated and loathsome creatures like these, just love to destroy, destruct and create mayhem for no logical reason. Umm…I think I am repeating last few lines. But it doesn’t matter! The reality is not only harsh but it keeps repeating itself. Touché!
The fact is and however unforgiving it may sound these parasites should either be killed or locked into dungeons for life. Because I for one would hate to get killed on my way to office just because some Arab or Pakistani religious zealot thinks that the book he reads allows him to kill me!
Sarcasm aside somehow I fail to see the logical reasoning behind so much talk around human rights of terrorists. If a person is found with AK-47 fighting with American forces in Afghani borders then Americans have right to either kill that guy or detain him. If they don’t do that then they will be dead meat pretty quick. Instead of rounding everyone in the vicinity or taking everyone to the some remote destination, Americans started cherry-picking the most sought after and most dreaded terrorist to special jails build in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. In this facility these terrorists are interrogated to get information about future terrorists attack or nabbing more terrorists from their Facebook circle.
I am pretty sure that compared to the medieval age tactics of interrogation or perhaps, even in comparison with interrogation tactics used in all of Arab countries, the techniques of Americans to pry out information from these knuckleheads are heavenly. I mean give me a break these numb nuts gets to dress clean clothes, gets facility to take a dump, gets their religious books to read and gets beds to sleep. What else do they want? For the love of mother Mary, these people are devil incarnate. They swore of killing every non-Muslim in this world. What do you think we should do to them? Build a pyramid and crown them as King of the world?
The problem is the weird sense of equality and human rights concepts that has spread in the intelligentsia across the world. I don’t know the reason behind this phobia of rounding up bad guys. (Then why am I writing this blog? Well, because I got nothing better to do and I am angry!) But my guess is that people (the so called liberals and academics) are worried about innocent people getting trapped in Guantanamo. I completely understand this concern. No innocent person should ever be punished. The procedure to send people to Guantanamo should be stringent. The error should be minimized as much as possible. Still, errors are bound to happen. Someone is going to make mistake and send an innocent civilian to Guantanamo thinking that every bearded guy is a terrorist. Moreover, measures should be taken free a detainee who turns out to be innocent. But to destroy Guantanamo, let everyone go scot-free just because there is a possibility of an error is ludicrous. It’s like not appearing for exam because we may get some questions wrong!
Our responsibility is towards the victims not towards the perpetrators. The prisons are not supposed to be the picnic spots for terrorists. We didn’t force these terrorists to commit heinous acts; they are doing it on their own. They are not humans. They can’t have human rights either.
P.S. – It obviously raises question as in why don’t US send these people to prisons on American mainland? Apart from the fact that prisons in US are overflowing, the controversy that it would generate will be so shrill that forget about according human rights, these pinko-liberals would force government to honor these terrorists with American citizenship!
Bloggers Note – Following opinion is strictly for the Islamic terrorists of Al-Quida and Taliban. My concerns are limited geographically, as in, it’s related only to the terrorists captured in Afghanistan. I am not speaking about criminals in general. Again, my thoughts applies only to the TERRORISTS!

There is a paradox here , which needs to be addressed.
America, over past 50 years in international arena, has enough blood on its hands. Those past acts were almost always committed by the govt, and the general population was by and large oblivious.
Although some of those acts have seen the light of the day and the information about those have made its way to the normal citizen's conscious.
This has induced a notion of guilt and the idea about being careful, about meting out justice, although it has reached almost a point of indulging the proven terrorists.
The paradox is this time around the Govt is correct in capturing, holding and punishing those culprits, but the involvement of the general populace is producing an opposition.
I wonder, had these 'holding cells' been in far away country , across Atlantic or across pacific ocean, that is at a safe distance from the prying eyes of normal citizen, this bizarre legal quandary would have occurred.
