Just throw this in their face.
Almost 10 years after a book on overcrowding, rats and disease at Paris's La Sante prison shocked France, conditions in the nation's 195 jails are worse, social activists say. On July 28, Justice Minister Rachida Dati presented a bill to build more jails and increase use of electronic bracelets to keep inmates at home to ease congestion in cells, some of which have barely twice the space France's animal rights society recommends for a dog.So now that France has set the bar for "human rights" somewhere below "dog rights" can we let ourselves off the hook about GITMO? (Although depending upon who's locked up in those French jails, I might be able to concede that the dogs deserve better treatment and accommodations!
