I would like to share with you how one goes about becoming a concentration camp guard without ever having made many decisions.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Here is Specialist Arendt. He looks like one of the Emo kids from South Park. For Chris, the worst form of torture is having to go a week without a duck-taped gerbil being inserted into his anus by his boyfriend. (Unfair Arendt? Completely baseless? You are G.D. right it is, kind of like accusing your fellow troops of being psychotic.)<\/p>\n

SCREEN SHOT: \u00a0Video here:\u00a0go over to the BBC and watch this interview<\/a>.<\/p>\n So what is torture to him?<\/p>\n I\u2019ve heard a lot of speculation as to what torture is. I would like to ask everyone to consider whether living in a cell for five years, away from your family and friends, without ever being given answers as to why you\u2019re there, whether this is torture. Having to ask 19 year old boys who don\u2019t have any idea about the politics of their government why they are detained and the answers that we weren\u2019t able to give- I consider that torture.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n OK, at this point, go over to the BBC and watch this interview<\/a> with him from last Friday.<\/p>\n \u201cthey [ members of his unit] are genuinely psychotic.\u201d<\/p>\n The \u201cshaving things into detainees hair\u201d is a new one for him. One has to wonder why a fantastic story like that makes its first appearance in a BBC video and not in his testimony from a year ago. It\u2019s almost as if he forgot it out until now. Or maybe, the harrowing business of running a detention facility caused his mind to block it out. Or maybe, just maybe, the story is sheer bullshit. I\u2019m leaning towards the later of these potential causes of amnesia. According to his testimony in March, the only discussion of shaving heads is this:<\/p>\n After the detainee is taken forcibly from his cell \u2013 that\u2019s probably the first time that he\u2019s left his cell in five, six, seven days \u2013 the detainees are beaten, pulled out to the back, shaved, all of their hair, their beard, and then taken to wherever they were supposed to go.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Wait, so were their patterns shaved into their hair, or was it all shaved off?<\/p>\n So let\u2019s look at the rest of his testimony. Mind you that Chris was an E4.<\/p>\n \u201cI served on the blocks for two months as a prison guard. My duties were to feed detainees and dispense toilet paper\u2026A consequence of having detainees is that they are human beings and also have stories. [Ed: No shit?] I talked with them about those stories, which led to my being taken off the blocks. I was sent to work in the Detention Operations Center as the escort control for the last eight months of my tour. I managed the movements of every detainee in Camp Delta. I did this on twelve- to fourteen- hour shifts, and rotated with a very small crew of other specialists.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Let me see if I get this straight. With all the officers, interrogators, OGA groups and NCO\u2019s at Gitmo, they entrusted the running of this camp to a 19 year old Specialist who got shit-canned from his job dispensing toilet paper? Is there anyone reading this now that buys into this? Anyone? Is it more likely that Arendt ran Camp Delta, or that a Yeti and Barbra Streisand spawned Amy Winehouse? I would say that each of those stories is equally believable.<\/p>\n Specialist Chris Arendt, you are the newest member of the Blue Falcons.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/arendt.bmp\" "\\"arendt\\"")
