After Representative Hunter (CA) appeared on several news programs beginning on Sunday, June 12, 2005, talking about how much we are spending to feed Gitmo detainees halal meals, James linked to an article and called it Gourmet Fare at Guantanamo. This led to a discussion that led to the creation of this cookbook. Our goal is simply to support the troops - profits go to a charity that supports them - and try to make the point that the word "torture" is itself being grossly abused when describing prisoner treatment. It's unfortunate that we have any prisoners at Gitmo, but the conditions there do not rise to the level of gulag, torture, or concentration camp.

We have contacted the Public Affairs office at Gitmo to find out if the troops stationed at Gitmo have a preferred charity, but if they don't select one, all profits from this cookbook will go to the USO.
