McCain: Gitmo is ‘one of the nicest places in the world to live in.’»

During a question-and-answer session with Walter Isaacson today, Sen. John McCain said Guantanamo Bay is “one of the nicest places in the world to live in.” Later in the interview, McCain was asked about the Supreme Court’s recent decision in Boumediene v. Bush declaring that Gitmo detainees have a right to challenge their detention in civilian court. McCain had previously derided that decision as “one of the worst decisions in the history of this country,” but today stepped back from that comment:

ISAACSON: But you called that the worst decision in history?

MCCAIN: No I didn’t. No, no– Sometimes I’m given to a little hyperbole.

In 2003, McCain said, “A serious process must be established in the very near term either to formally treat and process the detainees as war criminals or to return them to their countries for appropriate judicial action.”

You are proving yourself to be an even bigger asshole than bush. And never in a million years did I think it possible.

let's send him there for a stay

It's ok He must have seen the Movie Sicko and realize how much better of they are in the long run for receiving health care!

After all of John McCain's health problems he knows the benefits of fully governmental covered health treatments. Not that he'd support that for everyone. Because that is just Crazy talk.

Perhaps he and Cindy should give up a half dozen or so of their luxurious homes and move into Gitmo, since it's so "nice"!

to even be considered presidential material. And if someone asks him about this quote, I'll wager he'd deny it.

"beautiful"-

what a doddering old fool he is.


:shrug:

if he thinks it's so damn nice.

This guy's a freaking loon. And how does he know it's so nice? Do he and Cindy have a house there?

He scares e worse than Bush, as he does most of my freer-thinking fellow Arizonans.

if he likes it so much

He said this TODAY? as in NOW??
How is it they they put forth someone even WORSE than Dear W?!

He really is Yosemite Sam isn't he?

Idiots. :eyes:

TRAITOR! Seeing the tasty rice pilaf they get to eat with tax payer money was bad enough!

cuz he's SOOO tough.

Meanwhile BushCo is scrambling to shut it down and bury the bodies.....while McCain, like everything, manages to take ALL signs on the issue, depending on who he's givin' the "straight talk" to.

See John say Gitmo is just great.

See John give a thumbs up to Waterboarding.

See John sing Bomb-bomb Iran.

See John assure the people that there will be more Wars.

That would be a direct hit.

I've been there 5 times and I still think it's a shithOle. Nothing but heat, cactus, scorpions and minefields.

If you're an alcoholic and live at the bar at the Officers' Club, it would probably be paradise.

Shouldn't that just about wrap up the last of his chances?
