Guantanamo Bay, Cuba - Guantanamo Bay (GITMO) is home to the toughest and worst offenders in the war on terror. Its been criticized for the treatment of detainees, the conditions of the camp, and even the legality of its existence. Every day, the detainees call the Army and Navy personnel that work there infidels -- and worse -- but now they are accusing them of being overly harsh art critics.
The detainees have recently taken to expressing themselves in artwork on the walls of their cells -- after completing government sponsored art classes.
“I think it is my right of free expression,” says Detainee 0256, a former bomb-maker and glue-sniffer. “I cannot understand why they do not take my art seriously!”
The art in question is titled “Die You American Infidels” and depicts an American flag used as a picnic blanket with two goats fornicating, as a burqa veiled Marilyn Monroe gives birth to President Obama. The bas-relief painting/sculpture is formed of a soft mixture of toothpaste and feces, and has carefully covered the side of the cell.
