      Leave it to Fox to allow no debate on a matter that is ripe for debate. My first question to that dude would be, "how do you know?"

      Fox News website is playing up his quote on their website. Jon Kyl is an idiot. Plain and simple. Everyone in America knows 9/11 happened before Gitmo existed. No one is arguing that terrorism or terrorists did not exist before Gitmo opened. Here is some research MMFA can do for you and your crack staff of handlers Kyl:
      For instance, using the pseudonym Matthew Alexander, an Air Force senior interrogator who was in Iraq in 2006 wrote in The Washington Post: "I learned in Iraq that the No. 1 reason foreign fighters flocked there to fight were the abuses carried out at Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo. Our policy of torture was directly and swiftly recruiting fighters for al-Qaeda in Iraq."

      &

      In June 17, 2008, testimony before the Senate Armed Services Committee, Alberto Mora, former Navy general counsel, said: "[T]here are serving U.S. flag-rank officers who maintain that the first and second identifiable causes of U.S. combat deaths in Iraq -- as judged by their effectiveness in recruiting insurgent fighters into combat -- are, respectively the symbols of Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo."
