There are new reports from humanitarian organizations regarding the treatment of prisoners at Guantanamo Bay. The reports from organizations are sketchy, and somewhat inconsistent, but it appears that prisoners are being subjected to Perl. Some of the reports tell of prisoners being forced to write Perl. Others say that some prisoners have been forced to debug someone else's Perl code. But that is not the most alarming report. Some of the prisoners have been subjected to the shrill, repetitive, vacuous cacophony of parroted Perl criticism. Those prisoners, who are enduring the worst kind of torture, are in our prayers.
