The U.S. is bitterly divided over a small parcel of ground situated on the tiny island of Cuba. That parcel of ground, leased to the United States for eternity by a former government of the island, is known as Guantanamo, but is affectionately known as Gitmo by many in the military community.

It seems one idiot at Guantanamo, Osama bin Laden’s former "media manager" — media as in video, not public relations, and definitely not free, as in gas, not open-source software — Ali Hamza Ahmad Suliman al-Bahlul. Related to him, at least in terms of idiocy, is Abdullah Saleh al-Ajmi, who was also held at Gitmo, but was released in 2005.

During his arraignment at Gitmo earlier this month, it seemed as though al-Bahlul wanted to play the role of a deaf-mute, but only when it served his purpose of being a ignorant degenerate, pompous ass, and a citizen of no country, given that he’s now denounced his Yemeni citizenship.

Now, let’s take a look at al-Bahlul’s buddy: Kuwaiti whackjob Abdullah Saleh al-Ajmi, who was released from Guantanamo Bay in 2005. Supposedly, even though he was nabbed, there wasn’t evidence he was involved with terrorists. The truth is more likely that there wasn’t enough evidence of his involvement.

After being released from Gitmo, though, where did al-Ajmi go? Well, that’s of no interest, at least to me. What’s interesting is that he eventually found his way to Iraq, and more specifically, Mosul. He was involved in one of three suicide bombings targeted at Iraqi security forces.

The now-dead al-Ajmi’s former Guantanamo attorney, Tom Wilner, who also represented other Kuwaiti prisoners at Gitmo, said his now-in-a-million-pieces former client once showed up for a meeting with him at Gitmo with what appeared to be a broken arm, Wilner said. The attorney explained to ABC News that al-Ajmi said he suffered the injury when guards tried to stop him from praying. Makes me wonder.

Anyway, Wilner said he met with al-Ajmi "about five times" in 2005. Most lawyers would know exactly how many times, and for exactly how long, they met with clients. Not Wilner. At least not with al-Ajmi. Either way, Wilner said al-Ajmi appeared "particularly angry" about being confined without charge.

Confined without charge, huh? Funny, he was nabbed in Afghanistan, along with other Kuwaiti terrorists. Oh, wait. Did all those Kuwaiti prisoners at Gitmo, all 36, who were nabbed in Afghanistan, along with al-Ajmi, head to Afghanistan, oh, perhaps to pray? Yeah, that sounds like a good story to rile up the anger of radical Muslims around the world. Woe is those who left Kuwait, went to Afghanistan to say prayers, only to be nabbed by the U.S. military in a hot bed of terrorists.

"I don’t know whether the experience of being kept down there in isolation radicalized him," Wilner said.

Wilner doesn’t know if being in isolation in Guantanamo made his former client turn into a suicide bomber, who is now spread over Mosul like fertilizer in a farmer’s field. Wilner also doesn’t know if al-Ajmi was involved with terroristic activities prior to being nabbed, either. All he knows is what the now-blown-up al-Ajmi told him.

Do I take the word of a dead man? Sometimes. Would I even consider taking the word of a dead man who blew up himself, as well as others, in a cowardly terrorist act? Some will say being a suicide bomber isn’t an act of cowardice, as you "have to be committed" to your cause. Yeah, big deal. They get psyched up on the garbage that Allah will be giving them 69 virgins seconds after their thumb hits that button. For al-Ajmi, I hope it’s 69 dead virgin goats.

In the end, if Guantanamo is shutdown by over-sensitive, spineless politicians who haven’t a clue about military tactics or measures, what will happen to the current detainees? Well, that’s simple: the world will have a bunch of wacko, idiot terrorists intent on blowing up themselves, and perhaps others, if they’re lucky, so they can meet Allah. If that’s or something they worship, and that’s the only way to meet that weak-knee, willy-nilly deity, I’d tell Allah to kiss off and convert to Christianity or Judaism for the simple fact that the God of those two religions values life. Imagine that.

Again, why do they (the pacifistic, peace-at-all-costs wackos) want to close Guantanamo?
