Of Guantanamo Bay and Soy Sauce...

[lizziec]

UN invited to inspect Guantanamo. This story is interesting and frustrating at the same time.

The main points occur in the first three paragraphs:

The Pentagon has invited UN officials to visit the Guantanamo Bay prison camp, more than three years after first receiving the request.

Finally they allow the UN in. Why did it take them three years?

Three human right monitors will be allowed to observe the facilities and question military officials but will not have access to detainees.

Riiight. So they can come in and speak to the people who are almost guarenteed not to say anything bad about it...

The Pentagon said the invitation showed it had "nothing to hide".

If they have nothing to hide then why did they wait three years and why are they not allowing the inspectors to access the detainees?

Grr. Stupid America :/

In other news, I've had a very lazy half term and have barely done any work...but that's a story for another LJ ;)

I had a clumsy evening the other day where I managed to drop several things and weld some cheese sauce to the bottom of a pan. This all culminated in my dropping a large full bottle of Soy Sauce onto our kitchen carpet from a high cupboard, where it shattered. Soy Sauce went everywhere and the carpet now looks like something the good people at CSI would investigate.



For those of you who don't know our kitchen that stain takes up a sizeable proportion of it...

Bethan coming today to stay with us till Friday :)

I wonder what could be used to kill that stain. You could try sprinking it with bicarb of soda and then a bit of water to see if that gets it out...

I'll look up some chemistry later and see if I have any better ideas.

Something to help with the stain.
