I’m sorry… but I just can’t feel sympathy for these scumbags…I just can’t.
I hate them with a fury… and I don’t know that I believe them at all. I think they’re trying to gain sympathy from the #MeToo folks or something (how would they even know about that? Do they get internet in Guantanamo?)
According to Daily Mail:
The five Islamic fanatics accused of masterminding 9/11 complained in a military court on Monday that they are being sexually harassed at Guantanamo Bay.
The men were appearing before a military judge for a pretrial hearing at the Guantanamo Navy Base when they made the complaint, echoing the cries of Hollywood starlets and women around the world who have spoken out recently in unison as part of a growing movement against sexual violence.
The alleged terrorists’ claims were not treated with the same sympathy as other accusers, however and they were announced somewhat out of the blue.
The first mention of the alleged assaults came from Khalid Sheikh Mohammed who, in broken English, blurted out: ‘We be under sexual harassment today for search in being here.’
I think it’s some kind of strategy. I hate these monsters so much.
Their complaint is the hands-on groin searches that are performed by guards on the men. Al Shibh said they amount to ‘sexual harassment searches’.
Their three co-defendants, Walid bin Attash, 38, Ammar al Baluchi, 40, and Mustafa Ahmad al Hawsawi,49, said they supported their accusations.
AAAAND here’s our answer:
It is likely the accused, who are all kept at Guantanamo’s Camp 7, are aware of the ongoing national conversation about sexual harassment and assault given that they have limited access to free news channels.
So they’re being searched because they’re MONSTERS WHO CANNOT BE TRUSTED.
I have very little sympathy for that.
The manual searches ARE new:
The physical searches are new – until Monday, guards at the prison had been using body scanners to search inmates’ private parts.
Prosecutors did not have an immediate explanation for the change on Monday. Col. Pohl instructed them to bring a witness to court to explain it this week.
Maybe if a groin search makes you uncomfortable you shouldn’t have slaughtered thousands of Americans.
The men are accused of helping the 19 hijackers who took control of planes on September 11, crashing them into the Twin Towers, the Pentagon and in Pennsylvania, killing almost 3,000 and injuring countless more.
They were all arrested in 2003 and held captive in secret, CIA locations overseas until 2008 when they were finally met with charges from the US government.
A series of legal decisions has delayed their trial.
In 2010, all charges against the five men were withdrawn without prejudice. Unlike having the charges against them dropped, it allowed prosecutors in civilian court rather than in military court to try the case.
You know Alyssa Milano is probably going to try to raise money for them now.
