Gitmo gear



Think Progress, comments.

The Washington Post’s Sleuth reports that the Guantanamo Bay detention facility has a gift shop advertising its detainee operations that sells windbreakers, baseball caps, and t-shirts. According to the Post, “military base officials were thrilled to have reporters buying up goodies at the gift shop for their loved ones back home”:

Guantanamo Bay is a naval base, so I can see buying t-shirts and stuff as memorabilia of a port call or tour there, but who the hell wants souvenirs of the biggest blot on American character since the internment camps for American citizens?

Holy shit.
