Germany 's Merkel says Guantanamo
By Karin Strohecker Sat Jan 7, 7:59 PM ET
BERLIN (Reuters) - German Chancellor Angela Merkel, in an interview published days before her first visit to the United States, said Washington should close its Guantanamo Bay prison camp and find other ways of dealing with terror suspects.

I wanted to point this out the very first time I heard it but I was still in my bereavement. Now that I'm back (although I still miss the old gray girl), I feel the urge to shout from the rooftops the following observation:
You know we're not doing the right thing when the German Chancellor tells our President, "Dude, your prison in

** Quick Update: Yes, I am playing with history here but I'm not slamming on the current Germans. I try to be very careful about making comparisons to the Nazi Party (and George Bush, not my favorite president, is not a Nazi or anything close). I could equally be saying "When Americans call you fat and arrogant, you know you're in trouble."

Ha! You have a valid point here. Me being of direct German decent (a first generation American), I would never say something like this. Granted I am generally rather harse, but I think I would just be more embarrassed than anything.
So true, so true.

Yeah,
But like it or not, our president is sort of like the frat boy party animal who lives downstairs who always has the stereo up too loud and the drunken late night parties.
You can go downstairs all you want to ask him to cut it out at 4 AM, and he'll smile, and say sure......
And there you are, 4:15 AM, and the floor is still thumping.
It is nice to note that other countries are taking an active role in global issues especially where the United States is concerned, however our American politicians have rarely let other countries tell us what to do. We barely listen to anyone else.
Interesting to be sure.
Sieg Heil! I mean, go German Chancellor. I do think this is funny I mean when a nation that you have kept a good eye on to make sure they don't relive atrocities is telling you that you might be doing something wrong ie: prisoners, you've got issues.
BTW: Are we the only nation afraid to let a woman lead? Even South America is ahead of us now! Damn!
