Wtf is going on at Gitmo?

[Fillerguy]

Not finding the orange jumpsuits and human rights violations sufficiently stimulating, the high-profile inmates at Guantanamo Bay have found an unexpected exhilaration in literature.

According to military officials at the US naval base, 50 Shades of Grey is the most popular novel in the prison library.

The information comes from Virginia State Representative Jim Moran, who informed The Huffington Post of the officials’ statements following a congressional delegation’s visit.

“These guys are going nowhere, so what the hell”, Mr Moran said on Monday. “Apparently they’d been offered the Koran, but preferred 50 Shades”.

According to Mr Moran, the officials had offered to translate E.L. James’ popular erotic novel into their charges’ native languages, but many of the inmates had already “read the entire series in English”.

It recently came to light that the Harry Potter series is the preferred reading material of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the September 11 mastermind and detainee at the Guantanamo bay base.

It might be, but it honestly wouldn't surprise me if it was true. Sexual desire is probably the most powerful force known to man. There is also a lot of argument about masturbation in Islam. Qu'Ran seems to be dead set against it, but a lot of hadiths seem to give a pass for certain situations from what I understand, and one of those circumstances is being imprisoned. Obviously our Muslim brehs can shine light on how they interpret things.

What makes this quote fishy to me is all the news out of Gitmo for the last month has been the hunger strike amongst the prisoners. If anything this state rep. seems to bring it up to influence public opinion on the prisoners.

I just find it hard to believe that between force-feedings with a nasal tube these prisoners are reading sexualized pop-fiction drivel.

For sure, but you are making the assumption that he meant currently. It could have been popular before the hunger strikes. It could also be an attempt to slander, but I don't think it is a really good attempt. It seems like it would only make people relate to them even more in my opinion.

That being said, the writing for those things is absolutely atrocious.

I doubt even a handful of them can read English well enough to digest fiction.
