 The Guantanamo Files: The Stories of the 759 Detainees in America's Ille $24.95 This is a very detailed volume that takes a painstaking effort to detail, details of the various individuals who have been caught up in this so called war on terror. It puts a human face to those incarcerated and a human story as to who they are. And it is true there are some bad buggers in there, I think that I can account for perhaps 4 or was it 5 out of some 800. But this is primarily the story of who the others are. There is an underlying story in this volume, it sits just in the background and that is the bit that will really disturb the reader. That there is an extraordinary incompetence in who was captured and an unbelievable naivety in the screening process of these people it does not surprise. I think that to most outside the US of A, this would be taken as a given; recent history allows us to draw no other conclusion. The underlying story: When I was a young lad in the early 60's our books and reading material often included stories of Nazi Germany and the prison systems that operated during that period, I well remember the revulsion I felt at that time as a 12 year old reading these stories of the abject cruelty of the guards toward those in their charge. In reading Andy's story of the Guantanamo detainees, I suddenly realised that I was reading stories about those same cruel, or should I say evil, sadistic people. The German prison guards; only this time they were Americans in Afghanistan, Iraq and Cuba. Which then makes me wonder, how is it that a very religious nation, primarily Christian to boot, preaching goodwill to all, a nation that is going to rid the world from evil can be responsible for such evil. There is no question in my mind that the deeds mentioned in Andy's story will stand up to scrutiny. The evidence from all sources of the many evil deeds are overwhelming. So where does this evil-sadistic nature come from. How does a nation create such evil creatures to do its bidding. That approval for the level of conduct heads right up to the administration so what conclusion do we draw about the US of A. "Erfing" as is carried out at Guantanamo to this day. What sort of training goes into getting 5 to 8 thugs with shields, batons etc to enter a cell or gage and belt the living daylights out of the single inmate? What type of people, cowards in the very essence of the word, are able to behave in this manner? In uniform, representative of all that is supposedly good of the US of A army. What type of soldiers does the US of A army train. The "peroneal strike" and the story of Dilawar the taxi driver will bring you in for a reality check and not a good one. The underlying story is the most frightening aspect of this book, a story that must be read.  Linksys by Cisco 1 TB Media Hub with LCD $429.99 The Media Hub is but a glorified hard disk and expensive as such. You can't access the files from the build-in display. The USB connection in the back is a Standard A instead of the usual Standard B, really silly because it prevents you from connecting it to The PC,players and TV using a standard USB cable. The support from Linksys is horrible; I search for the NHM 410 and they only recognized the model 300. Some good advise; do not download the latest firmware updates, wait until Cisco gets it fixed. The system is slow, it pauses in a middle of a song waiting for the network and the supplied media player fails again and again and does not allow you to play a full CD. Back to the drawing board Cisco!
