     [1]It was great, say boys freed from US prison camp
     "I am lucky I went there, and now I miss it. Cuba was great," said
     the 14-year-old, knotting his brow in the effort to make sure he is
     understood.
     ...
     The food in the camp was delicious, the teaching was excellent, and
     his warders were kind. "Americans are good people, they were always
     friendly, I don't have anything against them," he said. "If my
     father didn't need me, I would want to live in America."
     Asadullah is even more sure of this. "Americans are great people,
     better than anyone else," he said, when found at his elder
     brother's tiny fruit and nut shop in a muddy backstreet of Kabul.
     "Americans are polite and friendly when you speak to them. They are
     not rude like Afghans. If I could be anywhere, I would be in
     America. I would like to be a doctor, an engineer _ or an American
     soldier."

   The horror. My God, the horror.
   Clearly, the terrible conditions of these awful places just creates
   more terrorists and hatred of America.
