Video: Colbert argues with himself about Guantanamo
As activist groups continue the fight to close down the prison at Guantanamo Bay, others conclude that it would be the equivalent of letting a bunch of prisoners of the state run free. But if they are prisoners, why have they not been charged? On "The Colbert Report," host Steven Colbert argued with his alter ego about the Guantanamo Bay issue:
---------Partial Transcript---------
COLBERT #1: "...but holding men without trial, isn't that unamerican?"
COLBERT #2: "Evidently not."
COLBERT #1: "Isn't America supposed to be the number one defender of human rights? These man are being held under terrible conditions."
COLBERT #2: "Terrible Conditions? Gitmo's in the Caribbean. It's like Club Med."
COLBERT #1: "Where you're kept in a tiny cell, you're told what to do all day, and if you don't eat you're forced fed?"
COLBERT #1: "Okay, it's more like a cruise ship."
Great cruise ship analogy. You'd have to drag me to get on one of those things!
