Angry and Gullible
Michelle Malkin has an excellent post on the "Gullibility of Gitmo Bashers" and a story yesterday in the NY Times on allegations of torture by "M.C.," who claims:
he was "suspended from hooks in the ceiling for hours at a time with his feet barely missing the floor, and that he was beaten during those sessions." M.C. also claims he was shackled to the floor, subjected to loud music and lights, and told he would be given access to porn if he cooperated with his interrogators. He also claimed that a special unit known as the Immediate Reaction Force "knocked out one of his teeth" and "an interrogator burned him with a cigarette."
(More after the jump.)
Read Michelle's whole post but she concludes:
M.C.'s allegations don't add up. The story about being beaten while he was shackled to the ceiling not only is not corroborated, as Sullivan contends, but is obviously fabricated. There is simply no way that interrogators and guards would subject a young boy to harsher treatment than a high-value detainee like al-Qatani whose interrogation methods had to be personally approved by Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld. It is unlikely that such tactics would escape the notice of former guards such as Erik Saar and the FBI agents who complained about other interrogation methods.
My only problem with Michelle's post is the title; it implies this gullibility might be limited to the Gitmo hysteria. Hardly. It's a constant theme among the loony left: anger, not reason; believe anything making President Bush look bad. As Stephen Spruiell explains in his column today for NRO, they did the same thing with the ridiculous article recently about the USMC "kidnapping" a kid and forcing him to join the Marines. Aside from the awful "reporting," consider the reactionover at Kos, particularly in the comments.
