New Gitmo Abuses Reported

More reports have been discovered alleging prisoner abuse at Guantanomo Bay.
"In one incident in October of 2002, a detainee was put in a plywood hut, where interrogators yelled and screamed at him, according to the documents."
This is madness. I can't believe what I'm reading.

They YELLED at him? AND they screamed at him? I would think one would be enough... certainly there was no need to yell AND scream at the prisoner. It's not like he really deserved some yelling and screaming at like my kids did when they spilled a 500-piece Lego bucket down the stairs.

Actually, my kids never did that, but if they did, I would probably yell and scream at them. But this prisoner of war didn't spill any Legos. In fact, I doubt the guards let him have ANY Legos at all. Not even a small 4-piece construction worker set.It seems that beyond these inhumane acts, the guards at Gitmo (thusly nicknamed because when prisoners started crying, the guards always threatened them with, "Ya wanna git mo action?") caused these prisoners to suffer beyond what we can imagine. We have Pizza Hut - they have Plywood Hut. What will these evil guards think of next?!

Oh, the horrors.

I'm not a HUGE Lego guy so I defer to your expertise. However, I do have a friend who is a Legomaniac of the Ninth Order. He is a Lego purist and decries the use of "specialty pieces". He, and other purists, feels that using specialty pieces is like cheating. If you want to build it, you should be able to build it with the basic blocks.

As far as the duct taped head thing goes, I'm wearing duct tape all over my head right now.
