Guantanamo Gaels CLG
Talking Balls Comments
You know the familiar story, isolated extremists who have become detached from reality having lashed out and fought with anyone that disagreed with their fanaticism and devotion to the cause; only then to become tortured and wracked with guilt at the pain and distress their involvement caused their families, yet imprisoned for years because of their beliefs.
Yes indeed, it is felt in government circles that the Cork hurlers are ideal role models on how to re-integrate ex Guantanamo extremists back into civilized society so that they can go on to become readjusted and responsible members of the community.
Senior officials have intimated to Talking Balls that they will be in discussions with the GAA to establish what role if any the World’s greatest sporting organisation can play in building bridges with the extremists. It is felt that in their devotion to their cause, their fundamentalist adherence to tradition and the win at all costs mentality each outfit has much to learn from the other.
One aspect that is being considered is a job share situation whereby leading members of Al Qaeda would spend time on the Cork County Board whilst Frank Murphy would spend time in the facility in Gauntanamo. The latter proposal would, it is felt, hasten the closure of the controversial camp. On a technicality of course. Watch this space. Some have even suggested that on the back of any agreement Guantanamo could be used by the likes of Armagh, Kildare and Donal Og Cusack as a warm weather training facility ahead of the championship.
Anyone for waterboarding?
