Guantanamo Breakdown: Terrorists Winning War Games With Word Games

It leaves up speechless to consider how Islamic spies could possibly have infiltrated the American prison camp at Guantanamo Bay. Although utterly incredible, it appears men posing as translators suceeded in corrupting prisoner interviews and securing unspeakably valuable information. In a press conference, Secretary Rumsfeld dictated a towering babel of rationalizations. Although reporters sounded him out as to whether a conspiracy was involved, the Secretary stuck to the soundbite that counterinterintelligence activities are typical in wartime. Athough tripping over their tongues not to sound any more foolish, the Pentagon says that up to 10 translators may be involved.
