Guantanamo Bay detainees play soccer, eat well: US senator Sun Jul 10, 3:52 PM ET
WASHINGTON (AFP) - Inmates from the US-led war on terror held at the prison camp at the US naval base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba are well treated, play outdoor sports, and have access to a broad Muslim-approved menu, a US senator who traveled to the site said.
US Senator Pat Roberts, a conservative Republican from Kansas, said on "Fox News Sunday" that he just returned from visiting the Guantanamo detention site.
"They have a Muslim menu down there of 113 dishes," said Roberts, chairman of the US Senate Intelligence Committee.
"I saw them playing soccer. I saw them playing ping-pong. I saw them playing ... I think it was volleyball," he said.
US camp guards "strictly observe with reverence all of the prayer calls, five times a day, 20 minutes," he said.
"And in regards to the health care, my word, they have better health care than many of my small communities in Kansas."
According to Roberts inmate treatment there "is carrots, not sticks. We are treating people humanely."
Meanwhile the US soldiers guarding the inmates "are getting very rough treatment from some of these detainees -- and I don't call them 'detainees,' I call them 'terrorists' -- throwing excrement at them and everything else."
The US guards "are more worried about what's happening in Congress in regards to their future than they are the terrorists," Roberts said.
There are some 520 detainees from around the world being held at the site, including suspected members of the Al-Qaeda terror network and Afghanistan's Taliban militia.
The Guantanamo detention site has been the focus of worldwide controversy following allegations that US forces have abused detainees. Leading members of the opposition Democratic Party want the site closed down.

QuoteJesus, what kind of trash is that!
I'm not religious, christel, but I still think calling me "Jesus", isn't very respectful to the beliefs of those that are Christian-based religious

Driving is a one dimensional activity - a monkey can do it - being proud of your driving abilities is like being proud of being able to put on pants

You come to place your bags of hate
On bus and train, you made us late
Yet we’ll be back again tomorrow
We’ll carry on despite our sorrow
Your bags of hate caused some to die
Yet we stride out strong with heads held high
You’ll never win, we will not bow
You can’t defeat us, you don’t know how
This London which we love with pride
Is a town where scum like you can’t hide
Don’t worry we will hunt you down
Then Lock you up in name of Crown
We’re London and we’re many races
Just look you’ll see our stoic faces
We all condemn your heinous act
You will not win and that’s a fact
We’ll mourn our dead and shed a tear
But we will not bow to acts of fear
You’re out there somewhere all alone
There’s nowhere now you can call home
Olympics ours we’ve won the race
Your timing then a real disgrace
Our strength you’ll find remains unbowed
We’re London and we’re very proud.
Got this via email from a friend 'across the pond'
~thought I'd pass it along.
