Dear Readers and Fellow-Apes; 2008 was a Murky and Hapless Year! Let us hope that 2009 does not turn out to be even  More Murky and Hapless!

I intentionally did not wish you a Merry Christmas, because Christmas is another story for another Posting at another time; and I do not wish you a Happy New Year, since I believe that ONLY FOOLS ARE, OR CAN BE, HAPPY ALL YEAR ROUND. I do, however, wish all of you A GOOD YEAR! With a little Good in one's life, one can be a little happy, which is all one can ask for in one's short sweet dream one calls a life-time. BY GOD AND SATAN! 

A Jack of many trades and master of all; I am honest to the core and I hate lies, deceits, pretensions, hypocrisy, treachery, betrayal, and stoic compliance; and I despise – and actually pity – Human-Apes who follow-the-herd-or-pack

I expose and reveal the lies, deceits, pretensions, hypocrisy, treachery, betrayal, and blind, deaf, and stoic compliance, and Human-Apes who follow-the-herd-or-pack; I tell or write the truth; and I say what I mean and mean what I say

I fear nothing; least of all, death

If I must fear anything at all in life, then let me fear what I think and  know of myself; because, in the end, one’s knowledge and opinion of oneself is what counts most. All the world may think and believe one is such and such, but one knows one is such and such. Also, I like to look in the mirror and like what I see and know about me.

I invite comments, remarks, criticisms, and even insults – so long as they are straight to the point, in order for me to correct or adjust myself accordingly. What I do not welcome and won’t accept or tolerate is HORSE-SHIT!

Dear readers and felow-Apes; with every page, every report or article, every paragraph, every sentence, every word, and every letter; I thank you for taking the trouble and the time to read My Not-So-Humble Comments.

277: LUCKY US PRISONERS ARE LIVING AND TREATED MUCH BETTER THAN PRISONERS ELSEWHERE Trust the Media to fumble and bungle along with just anything to fill pages and air-time, and then mumble and grumble along over it

LUCKY US PRISONERS ARE LIVING AND TREATED MUCH BETTER THAN PRISONERS ELSEWHERE Trust the Media to fumble and bungle along with just anything to fill pages and air-time, and then mumble and grumble along over it

AP Monday 19th May 2008

NEW YORK: The USA Military has told the UN’s Committee on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) that it has about 500 juveniles in detention centers in Iraq, and about 10 in the US Base at Bagram, Afghanistan. So far, a total of 2,500 youths under the age of 18 have been detained almost all in Iraq, for periods up to a year or more in President Bush's anti-terrorism campaign since 2002.

The report said that of the total of 2,500 juveniles jailed since 2002, all but 100 had been picked up in Iraq. Most of the rest were swept up in Afghanistan. The U.S. military says it has held eight juveniles (13-17) at Guantanamo since the detention center was opened in 2002. Six were released and two are now adults facing war-crimes charges. Civil liberties groups were outraged that the U.S. government has not figured out a way to keep children out of adult prisons. The executive director of the International Justice Network said on Sunday that it was outrageous and it wasn’t making the US any safer.

In a statement, the ACLU Human Rights Programme said it was shocking to know that the U.S. was holding hundreds of juveniles in Iraq and Afghanistan, and even more disturbing was the fact that there was no comprehensive policy in place that would protect their rights as children. Juveniles and former child soldiers should be treated first and foremost as candidates for rehabilitation and reintegration into society, not subjected to further victimization.

The above paragraph I like very much. What they actually said was: Juveniles and former Child-Soldiers should be treated first and foremost as candidates for Osama Bin Ladin’s School of Re-activation and Re-introduction into his Suicide Society.

Human Rights! There is no such a thing as Human Rights! Human Rights and Child Sponsorship and other such Programmes are nothing but Con-Syndicates and Organisations set up to relieve the naïve moronic and obtuse fools of their money; just like The UN. They are just ruses and excuses to provide well-paid jobs with the best possible fringe-benefits and salaries and wages for some who believe that it is Their Right To Live And Eat And Sleep Well And To Hell With You!

A person’s rights end where another person’s rights begin! Period! And this is why I like the Saudi Arabian System of Justice! One has no right to kill another one, or commit any act that violates the rights of another one, because then, one loses one’s rights. In Saudi Arabia, the law is simple and clear: You do it; we catch you; we bind you hand and foot; and we lop off your head or your hand; then we tell you not to do it again, OK?

Age is not a necessarily important factor in determining whether or not any military detains an individual under the laws of armed conflict. However, I am sure that the US Military attends to the special needs of juveniles while they are in detention.

Dear readers and fellow-Apes; we would all do well to remember that these lucky prisoners everyone is carping canting chanting and FARTING over are living, and are being treated, better than prisoners in Syria/Iran/Egypt/Libya/Sudan and most Arab and Arab-speaking countries, and a lot of other Asian and South American countries, so ENOUGH OF THIS HORSE-SHIT WITHOUT THE HORSE!

No wonder the following appeared today: NEW YORK: In a story about the U.S. military holding approximately 500 juveniles in detention centers in Afghanistan and Iraq, The Associated Press erroneously reported that a U.S. government report said those held in Iraq were unlawful enemy combatants
