IRS Denies Charges of Abuse, Claims No Audits Performed at Guantanamo
IRS officials denied allegations from human rights activists who claim that over 40 top IRS tax auditors were sent to Guantanamo Bay to "interrogate" prisoners. IRS spokesman Max Paine said, "Sure, we had an office party as a perk for our best auditors, and it happened to be near the base at Guantanamo, but this had nothing to do with terrorist interrogation. There is no foundation to the charges of human rights violations from conducting IRS tax audits on hapless foreign victims. I assure we, those tactics are only on US citizens within our borders."
Human rights activists remain skeptical, noting that immediately after the return of the IRS agents from the "office party" at Guantanamo, Homeland Security officials announced that major breakthroughs in interrogation had been achieved, resulting in extraction of extensive quantities of sensitive information, plus several boxes of receipts and "several million dollars in tax revenues" to help offset the cost of the war.
