Welcome to a new tropical hideaway! Situated among the most scenic beaches in the world. This exotic Caribbean island complex has everything for someone seeking peaceful surroundings. All you have to do is become an unlawful combatant, or an innocent bystander who may have been in the wrong place at the wrong time. Welcome to Camp Delta, in Guantanimo, Cuba!!!

Once our friendly travel agents meet you, they will process your travel papers and prepare you for this trip of a lifetime. The process is easy, and almost painless.

Deluxe Flying Accommodations are provided, free of charge!
You will be flown in a spacious, Air Force C 140, on a custom seat, shackled, across the fuselage for your safety on those bumpy rides, with your eyes blacked out behind no-see goggles, your ears and noses tightly muffled. All your senses are blocked. You cannot see, hear, smell, or feel anything. You will also be placed on your knees, so you will have plenty of leg room behind you. Attendants will be available, assuring maximum security for you and your fellow travelers.
The "technique" being applied is called "sensory deprivation flying". It is refined travel at its best. The 20-hour flight from Afghanistan, may seem never ending, to some, but the destination is worth it. Sensory deprivation is especially preferred, because it leaves no physical traces, so you will arrive bruise free!
Sure, there have been some minor issues with sensory deprivation experiments. They were carried out in 1971 on 14 Irish Republican Army prisoners by their British jailers. In 1974 British authorities were forced to outlaw this kind of mental and psychological torture. In addition, some $5 million has since been paid out by the British government over the years to victims of torture. Lawyers, are always mucking about, aren't they!
Luckily, the United States was quick to pick up where the Brits left off.

Once you arrive to this desert paradise you will be greeted by a contingent of American CIA. Who will ask you questions, so your stay will be more enjoyable. Nothing but the best interrogators for you. You will join about *664 fellow travelers at Camp Delta, in Guantanamo Bay Cuba!

The resort has recently been upgraded from tropical tents with more permanent structures. Each room is exquisitely decorated with metal beds stenciled with a bright yellow arrow pointing toward Mecca. Each cell has a basic through-the-floor toilet, The rooms/cells have concrete floors and are roofed with pressure-treated wood and corrugated metal and a sink. Although the climate is scorching, the temperature in the cells is made tolerable by electric ventilators on the ceilings and the ocean breezes that waft through the camp. "The detainees are served at least two hot meals a day", said Chief Warrant Officer James Kluck, the food service director, who in civilian life looks after the food needs of a dormitory at the University of Michigan.

Just like summer camp!
One official stated recently that "going to the military camps was, for many in the Islamic world, a kind of summer ritual. "It's like going camping," he said." All the detainees are now housed in a more modern center known as Camp Delta, which occupies 20 acres on the southeast corner of the base.

Bonus Point Plan is available for everyone!
The resort owners have left no stone unturned to help permanent visitors earn "Bonus points" . Privileges like exercise time and reading material are used as disciplinary tools, said Command Sgt. Maj. John Vannatta, the superintendent, a reservist who in civilian life is a superintendent of an Indiana state penitentiary. and some are rewarded with treats like ice cream and dates when they cooperate


How can you qualify for this exclusive deal?
Just visit or live in a country where the U.S. may think terrorists may reside. You may or not be a member of the "Al Qaeda" red carpet member club. Nationality is not important so, visas or passports are not required! Many have already taken advantage of this offer from Afghanistan and we are now expecting to receive many more from Iraq.
If you are not a member of Al Qaeda, don't despair, according to a spokesman for Guantanimo Bay who said "For one thing, only a small number of the detainees are members of Al Qaeda. The rest have either been determined to be nobodies, rounded up in the chaotic aftermath of the war, or presumed to be nobodies whose state has not yet been determined."
There is still more hope for many more of you to join in.
Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld offered an explanation of the thinking behind the indefinite regime at Guantánamo when he once suggested that the detainees were being held not necessarily for what they had done but for what they MIGHT do.

It is like being a Citizen of the World.
The majority of the attendees still face an uncertain future on an island chosen explicitly for its unusual features. Not only is the base lodged on sovereign territory of Cuba, a nominally hostile country, and ringed by a 17-mile-long fence with armed watchtowers on both sides. Two federal courts have also said that despite the fact that it is totally under United States control, the base is outside the reach of United States law because it is technically part of Cuba.

All expenses are paid for by United States taxpayers, so Enjoy your stay!

New Upgrades are coming for Service Personnel
The service personnel occupy the main part of the 45-square-mile base. It is screened off from Camp Delta by a small range of bluffs. Like most military bases, it is just a slice of America with a McDonald's , the only one in Cuba, and a Subway shop. Pizza Hut and Kentucky Fried Chicken are coming soon!



* Sure, some of our guests are unhappy about their surroundings. There is some dispute as to the cause of some 25 suicide attempts at the camp and the fact that more than 5 percent of the detainees are being treated with antidepressants. Depression is a logical consequence of being imprisoned with no certainty about the future. US. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld says he is not bothered by reports from Guantánamo.
I am sure the best advise is to know as many people as you can. Friendly people are happy people.
