Indeed Guantánamo is a detention camp for Muslims, but Guantánamo is also the place where gaolers are living. Now when you live in United States, you go shopping. And « shopping » means « items to be bought ».

Charming, is’nt it? For Christmas, soldiers who are keeping the prisoners of Guantánamo (who are released sparingly by the Obama’s administration after years of detention without trial nor even loads against them) can return home and offer an attractive cuddly toy to their children.
Let us remind that Guantánamo, is this jail where we violently fill up the hunger strikers according to a practice which seems to be a real torture.
