Continuing my guest blogging feature, which I think I will now make a regular Sunday feature, GottaLaff had an excellent piece about the notorious for NY Times/Cheney stenographer, Judith Miller, and Guantánamo prisoner Fayiz al-Kandari (originally posted at the The Political Carnival on October 25, 2009): Hey Judith Miller, call Fayiz al-Kandari. He begs to differ about "model prison" Gitmo, torture Via former jailbird Judith Miller, that paragon of fine reporting, we get "news" that is simultaneously clearly laughable and utterly despicable: In an interview with PJTV's Bill Whittle on Friday, former New York Times reporter and now Fox News pundit Judith Miller had nothing but praise for the U.S. detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, and claimed that not only was no one ever subjected waterboarding there, but that any harsh treatment took place only during the first four months of its opening.Hey Judith, you might try interviewing Lt.

"No one was ever waterboarded at Guantanamo, according to Guantanamo officials," Miller continued. "Torture as ordinary people would call it took place only during four months when it first opened...like sleep deprivation, being doused with ice cold water...
