A person wrote a letter to the White House complaining about the

treatment of a captive taken during the Afghanistan war. Below is a

copy of the response.

Dear Concerned Citizen:

Thank you for your recent letter criticizing our treatment of the

Taliban and Al Qaeda detainees currently held at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

The administration takes these matters seriously, and your opinion was

heard loud and clear here in Washington.

You'll be pleased to learn that thanks to the concerns of citizens like

you, we are creating the Terrorist Retraining Program, to be called the

"Liberals Accept Responsibility for Killers" program, or LARK for

short. In accordance with the guidelines of this new program, we

have decided to place one terrorist under your personal care.

Your detainee has been selected and scheduled for transportation to

your residence next Monday. Ali Mohammed Ahmed bin Mahmud is to be

cared for pursuant to the standards you personally demanded in your

letter of admonishment. We will conduct weekly inspections to ensure

that your standards of care for Ahmed are commensurate with those you

so strongly recommended in your letter.

Although Ahmed is sociopathic and extremely violent, we hope that your

sensitivity to what you described as his "attitudinal problem" will

help him overcome this character flaw. Perhaps you are correct in

describing these problems as mere "cultural differences."

Your adopted terrorist is extremely proficient in hand-to-hand combat

and can extinguish human life with such simple items as a pencil or

nail clippers. He is also expert at making a wide variety of explosive

devices from common household products, so you may wish to keep those

items locked up, unless you feel that this might offend him.

Ahmed will not wish to interact with your wife or daughters since he

views females as a subhuman form of property. This is a particularly

sensitive subject for him. He has been known to show violent tendencies

around women who fail to comply with the dress code that he considers

appropriate, but I'm sure that over time they will come to enjoy the

anonymity offered by the bhurka. Just remind them that it is all part

of respecting his culture and his religious beliefs.

Thanks again for your letter. We truly appreciate it when folks like

you inform us of the proper way to do our job.

Take good care of Ahmed and good luck!

Cordially,

Don Rumsfeld
