Prisoners of War

We didn't know McClatchy had officially set itself up as anti-gov't., but there it is, Service Marked & everything, on their header: "Truth to Power." And have you ever seen more liberal elite media bias than this list of stories?
But this is what we were looking for.
BAGHDAD — About 1,000 Asian men who were hired by a Kuwaiti subcontractor to the U.S. military have been confined for as long as three months in windowless warehouses near the Baghdad airport without money or a place to work. [...] "It's really dirty," a Sri Lankan man told McClatchy, speaking on the condition of anonymity because he still wants to work for Najlaa. "For all of us, there are about 12 toilets and about 10 bathrooms. The food — it's three half-liter (one pint) bottles of water a day. Bread, cheese and jam for breakfast. Lunch is a small piece of meat, potato and rice. Dinner is rice and dal, but it's not dal," he said, referring to the Indian lentil dish.
Sounds like a homeless shelter.
