No comparison between captives

Posted May 15, 2013 5:00 am

Really? In Saturday’s Daily Herald, a cartoonist compares the savage brutality the monster in Cleveland imposed on three innocent girls with the treatment America has imposed on the Islamic extremist terrorists currently housed at Gitmo? The terrorists who killed over 3,000 of our own innocent men, women and children on 9/11 and who have vowed to annihilate every one of us Americans? The terrorists who are allowed outdoor recreation, clean living quarters, clean clothes, meals prepared to Islamic standards, and to pray five times a day, as is their custom?

This compared to the Cleveland excuse for a man who routinely starved, raped, beat and chained up three innocent girls, forcing them to live in subhuman conditions, allowing them no freedom whatsoever, and stealing from them over a decade of their precious lives? Really? How ignorant and absurd.
