John Jay College of Criminal Justice is putting on an art exhibit titled “‘Ode to the Sea: Art from Guantanamo Bay” which featured not just the works of Gitmo detainees, but also extensive bios that redacted why the artist being held, as well as instructions on how to purchase the works.
Now, the Department of Defense has changed its policies, declaring the paintings to be government property and will not allow any more to be released to the public.
I am so pleased the murderous, muslim detainees are provided art classes and supplies. Are they doing basket weaving, cooking classes and ceramics too?
How about free college tuition to go with their free dentist and healthcare?
Disgusting that they are treated better than veterans.
I like my Gitmo art in waterboard-colors please.
Monkeys in the zoo resort playing with their shit.
How do they have time for painting in between praying and massages? Let alone the personal empowerment classes. You’d think they weren’t terrorists and shit….
Hmmm. That’s odd. All this time I was thinking Gitmo Art referred to photos of Obamas, Clintons, and their closest friends being checked into Gitmo wearing orange jump suits.
We all know those bastards favorite painting is “The Scream.”
Seems they didn’t take to Theo Van Gogh’s art however…
Next CBS will begin airing “Terrorists Got talent”
But I want my goat porn!
Sounds like the college isn’t gonna Gitmo art.
Where’s the propaganda pic of the barbed wire and crossed 2X4’s ?
That’s their go-to pic at every mention of the base. I went there once on a tour. It’s a huge taxpayer-paid $250 million dollar glass and steel structure. They have game and TV rooms, best food and healthcare your money can buy. They’re certainly treated like guests and not prisoners. They are only “detainees.”
Excellent. Done on govt time, with govt supplies=belongs to the govt!
Hidden messages and targets of future attacks being painted and sold. Should never have been allowed in the first place.
How about some stone sculpture? Maybe deconstructing some boulders into a realistic representation of gravel.
Everyone knows the best work comes from starving artists, let’s try that for a few months. Maybe first lop off an ear.
@ Roman V….LOL….like Van Gogh Alacbar….he’s got the late music set and fights for the crab legs….
This is the reason you take no prisoners off the battlefield.
They become fucking pets.
