| | Prisoners look forward to release … of Deathly Hallows book
Prisoners at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, some of whom refer to themselves as being held in “Azkaban” and compare U.S. President George Bush to Voldemort, are excited that the camp’s library has preordered Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. According to the prison’s chief librarian: Quote:
When you get to fiction, definitely Harry Potter (is a big favorite). They're all waiting for number seven to come out.

LOL but even Voldemort doesn't deserve that horrible of a comparison. I'd say Umbridge instead. |

| Ultimate Potterite Original original They're comparing President Bush to Voldemort? How very wrong they are. Stupid people, they're in there for a reason. They don't even deserve to get their bloody hands on the novel. |

Not everyone in there is a convict, that's why there's been so much scandal surrounding the inhumane treatment of those being held there. But like a few of you said, it is impossible to reply to this without some sort of politicial bias.
Poor Voldemort. Not even he deserves that comparison. Give he-who-must-not-be-named some credit.

Prisoners? Reminds me of SB.
I'm glad that they're so excited too. Definately, Harry Potter is a big favorite.
Prisoners are human, too, and they have the right to love HP, just like us.
(Comparing Bush to Voldemort? *chuckles*)
