What a f***ing surprise

She who SHALL NOT be named, on her photo-op trip with the Code Pinkos to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba to protest the treatment of prisoners is ignoring an opportunity to do just that.

Anti-war activist C**** S****** is ignoring an appeal by wives and mothers of imprisoned Cuban political dissidents for her to visit Cuban prisons during her trip this week to protest the treatment of suspected terrorists held at Guantanamo Bay.

The Damas de Blanco, or Ladies in White, who march silently through the streets of Havana every Sunday in protest at the incarceration of political prisoners of the Castro regime, wrote a letter to Ms. Sheehan inviting her to visit Cuban prisons.

The Damas drew Ms. Sheehan’s attention to the poor state of Cuban prisons, which they say lack clean drinking water and adequate food and where their relatives are imprisoned solely for speaking out against Fidel Castro’s government.

So I guess the only prisoners who are maltreated are those who are in US custody.  You know, the ones with plenty of heat and A/C, halal food, fresh water, and complete shelter.

As opposed to Cuban political prisoners who are housed in squalor, malnourished, and abused in ways to horrific to speak of.

In fact, the Code Pinkos have NO intention of speaking to the plight of Cuban prisoners:
"It just so happens that this is where the [ Guantanamo] prisoners are," Ms. Benjamin [Code Pink leader] said. That the group is visiting Cuba, where prisons define daily life for many, is "very incidental," she added.
[emphasis mine -Ed]
But what can you expect when SWSNBN's best friend is also cagastro's best buddy?

When you are in jail, it suppose to be a bad time. Now days jail is like a vacation, tv, card games, great food, sleep 12 hours a day. Jail is jail and if it is so bad, maybe when they get out of jail, they will not return. In Savannah Georgia, when they were making the movie Cape Fear in 1961, Robert Mitchem was put into jail for being drunk and starting a fight. He served a week on the Brown Farm, when they put you on a road and make you dig the ditches out by hand 12 hours a day and feed you beans and bread with a slice of bread. When he got out, he said he would never come back to Georgia for any reason. Jail is jail.
