Mr. Speaker, two American soldiers were killed today in Afghanistan. While our amazing troops are still in the rugged field of battle fighting people who kill in the name of religion, a new field is getting ready for its grand opening at Guantanamo Bay. Finishing touches are being put on a swanky high-dollar soccer field for criminal terrorist detainees at Gitmo. And, of course, Americans are picking up the $750,000 tab for the recreational facilities for these criminals. Isn't that lovely? The U.S. Government is giving these radical extremists access to the soccer field for 20 hours a day. What follows, a terrorist soccer league? These radicals should be doing hard time, not soccer time. Our government has no business building this tropical Caribbean recreational facility for terrorists. It is disrespectful and insulting to all who are victims of these killers. What is next at this terrorist playground, a tiki hut and bar at the beach? This ought not to be, but that's just the way it is. ____________________
