List of Guantanamo Bay detainees accused of possessing Casio watches
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Guantanamo_Bay_detainees_accused_of_possessing_Casio_watches

Because of its claimed use in terrorism, possession of a Casio watch, often a Casio F91W, was listed in Guantanamo Bay Combatant Status Review Tribunal reports and other government documents as a reason for these detainees' continued detention.

... Abdullah Kamel Abdullah Kamel Al Kandari
Told his Tribunal he had no idea that the watch was associated with terrorism
Told his Tribunal that the four Muslim chaplains at Guantanamo all wore this model of watch.
Told his Tribunal if he had known Casio watches were tied to terrorism: "If I had known that, I would have thrown (the watch) away."

1. Sounds like someone is talking in astrological code.

Someone look up what that group think Casio is about.


Interesting, the wiki page W shaped 5 bright stars.

It fits, on the way home from Medusa encounter, fits narrative also.


Loaded with war bias also.

War bias is always about winning by killing, not helping, it gets into many stories, but does not work, so not my view of what is best.

2. Ooh, those evil watches! Just dripping with guilt!
Hey, they'd better add Casio to the list of terrorist organizations -- after all, they PRODUCE those evil watches.

And, after all, the U.S. military was just trying to answer the age-old question: "who watches the watcher's watch."

;-)
