It is called "Camp X-ray" as though it were some Comic Book or Hollywood movie camp. The reality is that "Camp X-ray" rings closer to "Arbeit Macht Frei". Then it was the Nazi Germans and Jews. Now it is Imperialist Americans and Muslims. History repeating itself.

American Concentration Camp located at Guantanamo Bay.
It is called "Camp X-ray" as though it were some Comic Book or Hollywood movie camp. The reality is that "Camp X-ray" rings closer to "Arbeit Macht Frei". Then it was the Nazi Germans and Jews. Now it is Imperialist Americans and Muslims. History repeating itself.
There are no gas chambers, nothing so crude. Mans inhumanity to man has become sanitized. Clinical. No blood. Nothing obvious.
Yet make no mistake. Do not entertain any doubt. Those victims in the American Concentration Camp located at Guantanamo Bay share the same suffering as the Jews did during the Holocaust.
What today is seen as just by the American Government will be a legacy of national American shame for generations to come.
Have the Americans learned nothing from World War II?
It is inconceivable that the Americans that liberated Western Europe would have tolerated what the Americans today do to those people at the American Concentration Camp located at Guantanamo Bay.
It is very easy to imagine, that were Nazis doing what the Americans today do at the American Concentration Camp located at Guantanamo Bay, that not only would they be charged and brought to stand trial at Nuremberg, but that Hollywood would make make films about the horrors and mans inhumanity to man.
That the Americans have fallen so far, in such a short space of time is horrific. Martin Luther King Jr warned against American arrogance, but they murdered that messenger from God.
Now the most hated nation on Earth, the United States of America is committing crimes against humanity on a scale that is hard to imagine. Tens of thousands of people dead. People locked up and tortured for years without trials. When will it all end? The screams and cries to God are deafening!
As a person living on this planet I protest. It is unacceptable. It is unChristian to treat people this way. It is unJewish to treat people this way. It is unMuslim to treat people this way. It is inhuman.
Those who died in the American Concentration Camp located at Guantanamo Bay were killed as effectively as any gas chamber in any Nazi concentration camp.
In the 1940s it was the "dirty Jew", the "Jude untermensch". Over half a century later it is the "Muslim Terrorist". The "Islamist".
It is shameful.
A great man would have led the United States of America through peace this century. Woe to the world that we have not a great man but a tyrant in the White House.
A great man does great things. Good things. Signs from God to show all that they are annointed.
We have no such great man in the White House. Death and destruction are the long dark shadows cast by the American President George W Bush.
Instead of leading the world towards a better tomorrow, he has lead many nations astry, into sin.
A great man accomplishes by peace many wonderous things. A faith in God that gives insight and purpose and inspires all.
The American people need to rid themselves of their demonic leader whose evil ways have cost the lives of so many tens of thousands of people. While he eats fine food and drinks fine drink and sleeps in a comfortable bed, American men and women are ordered to fight an illegal war. An unlawful, immortal, unethical, unChristian war, unHoly war. There were no Weapons of Mass Destruction. It was all a lie.
It is said that the father of lies is the devil. The devil kills and destroys. The devil sows and reaps hatred.
I ask you, what do you see George W Bush, the President of the United States of America doing?
Has he brought democracy to Iraq without bloodshed, an amazing achievement that everyone agrees is a miracle?
No.
Does an orange tree produce apples? Or perhaps an apple tree produce oranges?
Death and destruction have followed George W Bush.
In the American Concentration Camp located at Guantanamo Bay, right now, this very moment. People are crying out to God. As you read this, people are being tortured in "our" name by "our" leaders. If we remain silent we will be judged harshly on our final day. Judgement before God is singular. Just a soul and the Creator. Woe to those that are found wanting. It would be better if they were never born.
It is the Christian response to answer a cry for help. As much as we may be replused at times, the duty is clear.
It is the Christian response to be like the Good Samaritan and help those that are fallen. Yet what we see are human rights abuses that will stain every American, every man, woman and child. Now and into the future.
Any moral high ground the United States of America had in liberating the Nazi concentration camps is now gone. The Americans have become today, that which their grandfathers fought against over half a century ago. It is shameful. How the mighty have fallen through pride.
America has murdered the messengers sent and turned their back on God.
It falls upon everyone's shoulders, to act Godly. To do that which is right. To not do that which is wrong.
When George W Bush goes into a Church and prays, to what "god" is he really praying? By their fruit you will recognize them.
The American Concentration Camp located at Guantanamo Bay must be closed. Let the people go free. Pardon them. Show them Christian charity. Stop this evil.
So says the voice of one Australian.
NOT IN MY NAME!

Right, so they are forced to work in sub-zero temperatures with hardly any food, are abitrarily shot and any remaining ones gassed then cremated?
Get real! Camp X-ray may well be a nasty place, but please don't compare the incomparable. It is an insult to the victims.

So that is worse than what you see in the (deemed acceptable) photograph below is it?
Torture is torture. Whether you are tortured by freezing cold and starvation or tortured by beatings, depravity, interrogations, sensory deprivation and more, is immaterial.
Torture is torture. There is no "acceptable" torture.
Just because the Americans get their hands less "dirty" doesn't mean it is somehow less torture. There is no such thing as "humane torture".
To simply say that the American Concentration Camp located at Guantanamo Bay is "nasty" is to excuse a level of torture that is equal to what happened to the Jews.
The Jews and others in the Nazi concentration camps were treated like the victims at the American Concentration Camp located at Guantanamo Bay. Separated only by some sixty years of human advancement. Of cause the methods will not be literally identical.
Snow is not a prerequisite to being tortured.
Being a Jews is not a prerequisite to be a holocaust victim.
You sound like an apologist for American war crimes and crimes against humanity.
The horrific reality is that there is an American Concentration Camp located at Guantanamo Bay.
It is as real as it gets, but not in my name.
Maybe in your name, but NOT in mine.

The article writer quotes the words "Arbeit Macht Frei", a direct reference to Auschwitz-Birkenau, which was a death camp, where extermination was the only goal. One simply cannot place that environment (nor similar camps operated by the Serbs more recently) in the same context as Camp X-ray.

The answer to your point has aleady been made:
"There are no gas chambers, nothing so crude. Mans inhumanity to man has become sanitized. Clinical. No blood. Nothing obvious."
and
"Those who died in the American Concentration Camp located at Guantanamo Bay were killed as effectively as any gas chamber in any Nazi concentration camp."
Your example of a drunk driver killing a person is not a holocaust as you say. I think a holocaust requires some prerequisites. A large camp where persons are without charge, tortured, killed, and they as some group are targeted. There are no doubt other criteria. I am just presenting some examples.
After the first year I would have agreed with you. What is it now? Five years this year that the American Concentration Camp has been running? Enough is enough already.
The methods of torture have changed. The outcome of human suffering and death has not.
Yesterday it was the Jew. Today it is the Muslim. Will it be you or I tomorrow?
I am a Christian. I am Latin Rite Catholic. What is happening to these people I have very little in common with is unacceptable. It is a holocaust in many ways. It is a concentration camp. A 21st century version.
We are either their co-jailers or co-liberators in the final analysis. We either approve or disapprove of their treatment.
They have not been convicted of anything. Yet they have suffered years of soul destroying hell and what for?
I don't want them there. Heck they can have a home right next to mine if they want! I am not scared of them!
It is a holocaust. Not the 1940s version. A 21st century version.
If it looks, and walks and quakes like a duck, it is a duck.
Injustices like the the American Concentration Camp are ideal recruiting examples for those who choose armed conflict to right injustice. Is that what we want?
It is not what I want. Not the world I want to live in.
They may be totally different to me, but I will defend their right to be treated properly.
The various American war criminals and those who committed crimes against humanity must be brought before a properly establish international European Court of Justice. That most definately includes the Australians, in particular Australia's Prime Minister John Howard - one of the most hated Australians in history. A google will verify that.
Being American or British or Australian should not entitle such people who commit war crimes and crimes against humanity to be above the law.
It is a mockery of justice to only have a Victors Court.
Peace.
