Why is it necessary to have Muslim chaplains at Gitmo for the prisoners? Talk about molly-coddling! At our state women's prison, there is one chaplain who serves all prisoners of all faiths. Giving the Gitmo prisoners a Muslim chaplain was like giving booze to an alcoholic.

That said, the army certainly dropped the ball with the interpreters.
