LI POL: GITMO LIKE CLUB MED

They should call it Camp Gitmo.

Congress yesterday conducted its first inspection of the Guantanamo Bay military prison since President Obama ordered it closed.

Long Island Rep. Peter King said it looked more like Club Med for terrorists than the torture chamber depicted by its critics.

“The prisoners are being treated better than American citizens in any prison I’ve been to in the United States,” said King, the ranking Republican on the Homeland Security Committee.

“They’re allowed out of their cells for hours at a time – even the worst of the worst,” he told The Post

Throughout the prison, arrows point toward Mecca, to accommodate the beliefs of Muslim detainees. The arrows were put up by American soldiers who guard the facility, King said.
