(LA Times) Lately, we've heard and read much about torture memos, waterboarding and insects in a box. It has been the occasion for somber reflection on our past and serious deliberation about our future. This is as it should be. It was Arizona Sen. John McCain, in talking about torture, who rightly reminded us that "it's not about who they are. It's about who we are."But perhaps we also should remember that there was a human being strapped to that board. His name is Zayn al Abidin Mohamed Hussein, known to the world as Abu Zubaydah.
More... if you can stand it.
Poor baby... I thought Islamic Jihadists were manly, men.
No, what they are, are trained whiners, who have learned how to milk our PC system of apathetic, appalling, muslim apologists.
May he and others like him, rot in hell on earth, with insufferable migraines, nightmares of drowning and gout.

Of course, there's that Extra-Large knee-length number, for those warm days.
I'm thinkin' - focus on the front sight.
From the LA Times article:
"He was the first prisoner in the "war on terror" to experience the full gamut of ancient techniques adapted by the communists in Korea and, 50 years later, approved by the Justice Department in Washington. "
That's absolute bullshit.
From "What Every American Should Know About the Korean War":
In a separate incident, the bodies of five American airmen were found in the Muju area in December of 1950. Their flesh had puncture wounds in as many as twenty different areas from bamboo spears. They had been tortured in such a way so that no one single perforation was enough to have caused death all by itself. Lt. Col. James T. Rogers, who hailed from Greenwood, S.C., was a medical officer with the First Corps. He spoke at the Potter hearings, saying that his post-mortem examination after the bodies had been found revealed obvious evidence of torture. "By the nature of the wounds, I am of the opinion that the instrument of torture had been previously heated. After torturing them with the superficial wounds, they bayoneted them with the same instruments and these fellows were left to bleed to death."
"They took our heavy clothing, and shoes, and left us with only a pair of fatigues. It was about 20 below zero. We found out, when we backtracked on Dec. 1 to the point of capture, that our wounded had not been returned to the American lines, as promised in the surrender agreement. Our wounded were still lying there, all frozen. We marched two days. The first night we got some hay and slept in the hay, cuddling together to keep warm. The second night we slept in pigpens. That night I froze my feet. I got marching the next sixteen days after that. During that march all the meat had worn off my feet, all the skin had dropped off, nothing but the bones showing. After arriving at Kanggye, they put us up in mud huts. There we remained until early January 1951. Then they moved us in oxcarts about 10 miles south of Kanggye, until April 25. A Chinese nurse came around to care for the wounded the first three days. She had a bag at her side stuffed full of newspapers, and a big pair of shears like we cut hedges with around the house. She said, 'What's wrong with you?' I stuck my feet out from under the blankets and showed her the raw bones of my feet. She told me to lie down on my back, so I slid down. She started to clip off my toes. She missed the joint about a sixteenth of an inch, and hit the solid bone. She crunched them off, took them all off except the two big toes. Then she took that dirty newspaper and wrapped it over the blood and pus and tied it on with a piece of string. Then she went out. I said to the other fellows: 'How do you like that?' I tore my comforter open and ripped out some cotton. Then I ripped up a pair of fatigues and made bandages over the cotton. I took care of my feet all winter long. The other three men who were with me died. By April 25, I was the only one alive in our group."
Private Charles Kinard told of being wounded and captured in the battle of Seoul during July of 1951. He was stripped of clothing and possessions and then tortured repeatedly. He was forced to run around with rocks in his shoes, causing his feet to bleed. Then he was burnt with lit cigarettes. His ration's can opener was inserted into an open wound on his left shoulder and twisted in. When Kinard tried to remove it he was beaten. The only medical attention he was able to receive, he had to perform on himself.
I'd like to see the LA Times prove we did anything of the like.
SOMEONE in the MSM needs to call these propogandists OUT!
Maybe I missed it, but they left out the worst torture of all - caterpillers!!!
Really, really fuzzy caterpillers!!
LOL
