http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=327005731889607...

in gitmo and elsewhere is where they, *co, are testing new weapons systems, they being used as Guinea pigs if you will. That would explain why they, *co, are resisting any contact with the illegally imprisoned detainees to the point of 'an in your face' type attitude concerning this. These unknown, by the masses, weapons systems may also explain why they think they, *co, can take on the whole world, where sheer numbers of persons won't matter, that their playing field has been leveled so to speak. Yes, these arrogant evil bastards must have something up their sleaves in order to go forth with the scheme of world dominance with the assurances of knowing the final outcome. IMO:scared:

1. "We're sorry, but this video may not be available."
Bad link, or was the video removed?
What was it a video of?

2. It wouldn't be the first time prisoners were used as guinea pigs
DemocracyNow has had a couple of shows on the topic. Heck, they do it to veterans!! I remember one specific guy who claimed for years that he'd been experimented on by the gov; his kids thought he was senile for saying so; but after he died they found out it was actually true. Injected him with radioactive materials.

And another person who died of a bizarre bacterial illness that turned out to be connected to some experiments off the coast of San Francisco.

But there hasn't been any evidence of such activity in Gitmo...

4. The Anthrax shots
were just the latest in a long line of disgusting use of service members as human experimental subjects. It's not as bad as the terrible things used on the guys in WWII or the Cold War era. And of course it is necessary to hide these unfortunate facts from the stupid and unworthy public.

But, I learned right away the Government abides by an extreme form of Utilitarianism when it comes to service members. They are all expendable. This is evidenced by the fact the most important thing in the Marine Corps is "THE MISSION". An vaguely amorphous, non-tangible statement is the most important thing...

3. Nah, the government has lots of places
right here in the Good Ole US of A to test weapons systems. Including the M.O.A.B., DU shells, atomic bombs (allright that was the 40s and 50s!), new microwave weapons, new sonic weapons, Combined Arms Exercises (CAX), and we still use the Phillipines and Thailand for big exercises and don't forget the Navy still uses the island of Vieques...
