From my buddies at MSNBC:
<blockquote>MOSCOW, Aug. 8 — A Russian mother said that conditions in Russian jails are so awful that she would prefer her son remain in the “humane” conditions of the U.S. military prison in Guantanamo Bay.
A NUMBER OF governments, including Russia’s, are in talks with the United States to extradite their nationals from the prison camp in Cuba, which was set up to house Taliban and al-Qaida suspects after the war in Afghanistan.
“I am terribly scared of a Russian prison or Russian court for my son,” Amina Khasanova was quoted as saying by Gazeta newspaper on Friday.
“At Guantanamo they treat him humanely, the conditions are fine.”
Her son Andrei Bakhitov is one of eight Russian detainees, and the newspaper quoted a letter he wrote to his mother.
“I think that there is not even a health resort in Russia on the level of this place,” the letter said.</blockquote>
These guys never had it so good! Why are others bitching for them? (They're not complaining, it seems.)
