Help Them Die

When Islamists capture Westerners, the end is often a beheading for the helpless victim.

Contrast this likely outcome with detainees we hold at Gitmo:


Scores of detainees have started a new hunger strike at the U.S. prison for terror suspects in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, demanding to be put on trial or released, human rights lawyers said Wednesday.

Funny how none of the captives of Islamist terrorists ever get a chance to go on a hunger strike. Of course, they'd need to be fed regularly to have that option. And since death is hovering over the hostages anyway, their threats to just die on the terrorists aren't likely to move the jihadis.

And of course, human rights lawyers never seem to be on call for the Danny Pearls of the world. Funny how that works out.

I know this gives me away as a knuckle-dragger, but why on earth should I care if those gentlemen in Guantanamo Bay die? I mean, it is their choice. Heck, they want to die while killing us, as they never tire of droning on about. So just having them die without taking any innocents with them is real progress in my opinion.

I say pull the rice pilaf and let the detainees die. Encourage them. If the hunger strikers start eying the Twinkies that the guards are munching on, bolster the strikers with a good pep talk about keeping their hunger strike going! That'll teach us! You go, guy!

I mean really, what sort of people actually care if those breathing sacks of living garbage kill themselves?
