WASHINGTON

The prisoners held at Guantanamo Bay during the war on terror have attacked their military guards hundreds of times, turning broken toilet parts, utensils, radios and even a bloody lizard tail into makeshift weapons, Pentagon reports say.

Incident reports reviewed by The Associated Press indicate Military Police guards are routinely head-butted, spat upon and doused by "cocktails" of feces, urine, vomit and sperm collected in meal cups by the prisoners.

They've been repeatedly grabbed, punched or assaulted by prisoners who reach through the small "bean holes" used to deliver food and blankets through cell doors, the reports say. Serious assaults requiring medical attention, however, are rare, the reports indicate.

The detainee "reached under the face mask of an IRF (Initial Reaction Force) team member's helmet and scratched his face, attempting to gouge his eyes," states a May 27, 2005, report on an effort to remove a recalcitrant prisoner from his cell.

"The IRF team member received scratches to his face and eye socket area," the report said.

Where's the ACLU? Where's the International Red Cross? Where's the Human Rights Watch? What about the Geneva Convention?

I'm not surprised. What else can one expect from Islamofascists.

I can expect a lot more. What I don't expect is that this will be a major news story. Or, if it becomes one, it will be those poor prisoners trying to rebel for their rights, or something of that ilk.

I have also heard that the guards do not wear their name tags (etc) when around the prisoners. This is because there have been threats to their families. I have no sympathy for the people being held at Gitmo.
