This was so hysterical I couldn't let it pass. Taken from the JTF website for Guantanamo bay.

Pfc. Billy Smith is in his second week of leave, but things aren’t going exactly as he planned. He stands in the pawnshop looking down at the watch his father gave him before Billy left for Iraq and wonders how it ever got this bad. Across the street in an inconspicuous sedan, a stranger smiles to himself as he puts the car in drive. He doesn’t have to wait to follow Billy. He knows exactly where he’s going; he’s been following him since he got off the plane. The stranger pulls out into traffic and heads for the casino. He needs to save a spot at the $5 blackjack table; it’s the only table Billy can afford. The trap is set.This may sound like the beginning of a cloak and dagger dime novel, but in real- ity it is standard operating procedure for al-Qaida and other terrorist organizations. According to the al-Qaida training manual (TM), which was found by police in Man- chester, England, 80 percent of intelligence can be gathered through non-covert methods such as newspapers, broadcasts, magazines and public records. The other 20 percent must be gathered through espionage.

We had a bit of a laugh at it. It reads like the ramblings of a paranoid schizophrenic. They didn't even manage to spell Manchester right... you have to read it in it's original form so check it out for yourself:

What exactly does a Baseball game for native american kids got to do with detainees? And why would native americans want to play baseball? Don't they play their own sports?
Although there is a bit of common sense in there, the paranoid wording is quite hysterical. It kind of reminds me of all those McCarthy era films and trials I've read about. "They're out there; you have been warned." Someone needs to chill out a bit.
