Classes at Gitmo: Hard to Make This Up and Believe--Life Skills?

Yesterday I heard something on the radio during my long and tedious commute that was hard to believe. I mentioned it to a very liberal Obama is never wrong friend who accused me of making it up or it was propaganda slime from some extremists right wing group. I investigated it further and it turns out to be true.

Now many strange and unbelievable things happen that seems like someone is making them up. Things so bizarre, the double take is in order. Things that go beyond head scratching, things that highlight hypocrisy. Things that are beyond laughable. 

The Obama administration has been screeching about the budget sequestration for months. Seems like it reduces a tad and just a tad the size of government. Cries of school children being denied this or that, perilous skyways from cutbacks, old people pushed off the cliff and on and on. Make up your own horror. 

 Well, it seems like there is no shortage of money as there is money to fund classes for the terrorist detainees at Guantanamo Bay.

With a detainee population of 166 whose skills are bomb making and killing Americans, the Guantanamo Bay facility uses our money to offer the detained killers courses such as "Interviewing and Resume Writing " and "Writing Success."

No, wait it gets better----According to their own web site, this group of people sworn to wipe America out are being taught courses in the following:

• Life Skills
• Computer Familiarity
• Personal Health and Wellness
• Personal Finance and Business
• Pashtu to English
• Arabic to English
• Art Classes in Camp 6

 Computer skills so they can communicate better? Finance to move money more efficiently? Writing a resume?

What moron thought of all of this and what moron approved it?

While not in classes the terrorists can use a library with more than 17,000 books, various video games, and lot of movies and music to check out.  A full time librarian manages it for them.

This purpose here is not to debate the use of “Gitmo” to hold these people. This people are prisoners for a reason but deserve a suitable environment, (however you want to define it) for their fate in life. However, it is absurd and a waste of scarce government resources to go to these lengths. It is hypocrisy to whine about the sequester when spending exists like this.

It makes me wonder what lunatics are running the asylum and frankly, it makes me ashamed. So, close Head Start, Mr. President, but teach these guys” life skills”. Hard to make this up.
