My mesage to America. WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!

FROM CHARLIE DANIELS & BAND AFTER VISITING
GUANTANAMO BAY, CUBA

I've just returned from Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, Naval
Air Station base where we did three shows for the
troops and toured several locations around the post
visiting with some of the finest military personnel
on planet earth. The kids seemed to really enjoy
the shows and especially liked "This Ain't No Rag,
It's a Flag" and "In America". We had a great time
with them. We saw Camp X-Ray, where the Taliban
detainees are being held only from a distance, but I
picked up a lot of what's going on there from
talking with a lot of different people. The truth
of the matter is that this operation is under a
microscope.

The Red Cross has an on site presence there and
watches everything that goes on very closely. The
media is not telling you the whole truth about
what's going on over there. The truth is that these
scum bags are not only being treated humanely, but
they are probably better off health wise and
medically than they've ever been in their lives.
They are fed well, able to take showers and receive
state of the art medical care and have their own
Moslem chaplain. I saw several of them in a field
hospital ward where they were being treated in a
state of the art medical facility.

Now let's talk about the way they treat our people.
First of all, they have to be watched constantly.
These people are committed and wanton murderers who
are willing to die just to kill someone else. One
of the doctors told me that when they had Taliban in
the hospital the staff had to really be careful with
needles, pens and anything else, which could
possibly be used as a weapon. They also throw their
excrement and urine on the troops who are guarding
them. And our guys and gals have shown great
restraint in not retaliating.

We are spending over a million dollars a day
maintaining and guarding these nasty killers and
anyone who wants to see them brought to the U.S.A.
for trial is either out of their heads or a lawyer
looking for money and notoriety. Or both. I wish
that the media and the Red Cross and all the rest of
the people who are so worried about these criminals
would realize that this is not a troop of errant Boy
Scouts. These are killers of the worst kind. They
don't need protection from us, we need protection
from them.

If you don't get anything else out of this, please
try to realize that when you see news coverage much
of the time you're not getting the whole story, but
an account filtered through a mindset of the media
with an agenda. We have two fights on our hands,
the war against terror and the one against the
loudmouthed lawyers and media who would sap the
strength from the American public by making us
believe that we're losing the war or doing something
wrong in fighting it.

People like being told the truth. Our military not
only needs but also deserves our support. Let's
give it to them. The next time you read a media
account about the bad treatment of the Taliban in
Cuba, remember what I told you. I've been there
done that and know what I'm talking about.

God Bless America
