Online today (MSNB.com) I read that the Harry Potter and Agatha Christie mysteries are the most favored library books at Gitmo. For some reason, imagining a bunch of radical Islamist militants (and the unlucky ones who don't necessarily fit that bill, but are incarcerated anyway) reading Harry Potter makes me kind of happy. I guess that they don't have books #5 or 6 in Arabic yet. But one of the prisoners also requested the movies. Do they have movie nights at Gitmo?
And if any of those guys have a problem with women (a la much of radical Islam), how do they handle the conundrum of reading two very female authors? Maybe they haven't figured out that J.K. is a woman. Or maybe I'm just reading too much into it, and they wouldn't have an issue with it at all.
