Along with the images, which you'll find on the following pages, soldiers seized various torture implements, like meat cleavers, whips, and wire cutters. Photos of those items can be seen here. The images, which were just declassified by the Department of Defense, also include a picture of a ramshackle Baghdad safe house described as an "al-Qaeda torture chamber." It was there, during an April 24 raid, that soldiers found a man suspended from the ceiling by a chain. According to the military, he had been abducted from his job and was being beaten daily by his captors. In a raid earlier this week, Coalition Forces freed five Iraqis who were found in a padlocked room in Karmah. The group, which included a boy, were reportedly beaten with chains, cables, and hoses. Photos showing injuries sustained by those captives can be found here.
Gosh this stuff looks like childs play compared to the barbaric hood method we use. I hear we also don't let people sleep sometimes and then yell at them!!! Call Amnesty Int'l we're monsters, despite the three hot pork free they eat each day and the medical and dental which mind you is better than my coverage as an active duty troop.
Sadly there there are those who serve (us) who experience unadulterated hate from all muslims. Some don't come home...
edited because this sentence needs clarification -- I'd hate to think that we believe our behavior is acceptable as long as it is at least slightly better than the worst our enemy can do. We should have higher standards. But torture seems to be very popular these days judging from the wild applause for it during the presidential debates.
I was using sarcasm to educate those on what torture really is. The stuff we're pulling out at club Gitmo and other places does not constitute torture, merely an uncomfortable situation for those participants. They are pampered for the most part.
Then I suppose you wouldnt mind if it were used on you That frigging pussy that died while being hit with a rifle butt. Just couldnt take the inconvience I guess. Or the eight year old who was held for three years. I guess no one gave him a shiney half dollar. Hey dont get me wrong I am an isolationist. I could care less if the mid-east fell into the center of the Earth. I dont even like ''I dream of Jeenie''. After 9/11/01, we should have applied the FPL theory. You folks with military backgrounds know what I mean. Then it wouldve been over, done. Sure Bush wouldve taken some heat. But what the heck, he is anyway. Oh, and Mr. greenjeans(JWhorse or whatever), you incredible idiot. I'm a rock- ribbed Republican. Ever since Ford. And a Son of the American Revolution. So youre just passing through my country. Hick!
