Thread: Gitmo Gift Shop That Gets Right Up Daily Mail's Nose!

Americans don't seem to have a problem with internment as long as it isn't their own, selling souvenirs from concentration camps is just ridiculous. imagine the outrage if the Germans were selling tee shirts and mugs from Auschwitz.

I better get in first here before Boon Mee or Texpat, but the Germans are doing a booming trade in tourists visiting the old concentration camps now in much the same way the Cambodians are displaying the atrocities of more recent times.
However, its not done as some kind of a joke or taken lightly by anyone. They are certainly not proud of those past crimes against humanity.

The same is being done here, a centre opened yesterday here on an old battleground, but that is done to educate. Its very important that people know their history.

Heh...ask yourself for just one minute - what did these assholes do to get locked up, eh? Like, maybe they were enemy combatants who do not fall under the Geneva Convention or any other recognized body?

Like maybe they were terrorists, eh?

You can't take 5 years of someones life on a maybe

They can, and they do.

Accompanied by the cheering of modern day US 'patriot' fascists.

Like maybe they wernt guilty of anything at all and were held unlawfully without trial for years before being released. Guantanamo Bay makes a mockery of what the US government purports to be fighting for. And lets not forget extraordinary rendition. "Suspects" flown to prison camps in other countries like Egypt to be tortured so the USA could claim it wasn't them who did the crime. You should hang your head in shame Boon Mee for supporting such criminal acts.

someone recently wrote a book about his 5 years of imprisonment at guantanamo.

Five Years of My Life: An Innocent Man in Guantanamo by Murat Kurnaz (part 1) | Extracts | guardian.co.uk Books



the only good news is that both mccain and obama have pledged to close guantanamo.

^^ So you think!!!

Boon Me has no shame, he is a born again liberal

Why don't you inform yourself about former and present GITMO inmates, and the circumstances of their apprehension/abduction?

Wonder if you can order the GITMO souvineers online? I think they are quite lovely. Mind you spose I can always request a few from some of my mates down in that area.

would you walk around in one of those tee shirts?

^Sure why not???

I think you have been in America for too long Brit, you are starting to think like them now. get yourself out of there before its too late

I quite like the 911 ones with Bin Laden, was a great success when they sold them here, wonder how successful they would be in that shop at Guatanamo

Exactly.

Why wouldn't one wear one unless they are a terrorist sympathizer, eh?

I don't know. I don't know all of them. I also can't speak for any other than myself.

If you wish to stop generalising, Jettie & ask if any specific Brit ever apologises, it might be easier to answer.


Thanks, Chi. It's the generalisation that gets to me. Just because some Brits/Europeans are twats doesn't make us all twats. Same with any nationality, huh?

Then why do all the Brits on the board bash America?

Hey, Thailand has an amusement park near the River Kwai memorials, no? I bet there are Auschwitz T-shirts.

Sure, in the weeks after 9/11, lots of the muslims on Koh Samui were driving around the island with Bin Laden tees on and their wife/sister on the back was fully burka-attired.

How much are those Gitmo coffee mugs?

Yea, its a real riot hey!? Everyone is laughing their arse of about it.
Well, except for about 95% of the worlds population that is.

Just another log on the fire to stir up more radical Islamic recruits.
