The thugs in Pakistan who've kidnapped an American journalist have extended their deadline by a day. How nice of them. They claim that Taliban and al Qaeda prisoners in Guantanamo Bay are being treated poorly, and that when conditions improve, this man will be released. The blame for this situation occuring lies with the Blame-America-First crowd in places like the Daily Mirror and the BBC who, unsuccessfully trying to find a way to embarass America have convinced the ignorant criminals in the Middle East that their people are being tortured. As as been pointed out in NRO by Michael Long, our treatment should be a model for the rest of the world. These animals we have at Gitmo aren't protected by the US Constitution or the Geneva Convention, so there's technically nothing legally wrong with us using them for target practice, but instead we provide them Korans, ministers, and safe drinking water.
