"It is in this region that a rebel force -- the Lord's Resistance Army, which claims to base its principles on the Ten Commandments -- has waged a protracted 20-year war against the Ugandan government. The army is led by Joseph Kony, a 43-year-old so-called "Disciple," who is as elusive as he is mysterious. His modus operandi is to kidnap children from villages at night and indoctrinate them into his group. Reports from victims suggest he physically and mentally abuses them into submission. The United Nations says more than 30,000 children have been kidnapped in the last 10 years alone."
"Those who are kidnapped by Kony's army live a life of horror. While reporting this story, we met Alice, a 19-year-old girl who recently managed to escape after eight years in captivity. She told me blood chilling stories of events no child deserves to witness. She spoke of how the group she was in was made to kill a child who tried to escape by biting him to death, of how she was made to cut up and cook the body of a village chief killed by the rebels and forced to eat the meat from his body, and of how she was raped and eventually had a child from the man who defiled her. She showed us the physical scars of her time as a child soldier -- bullet holes on her leg and shrapnel wounds on her chest. "

Horrible. I would like an hour alone with that man.
Call me crazy, but I don't recall seeing "Al-Queda, which claims to base it's principles on the Koran" in other CNN stories. I am not saying that it's wrong that they added it...it's just interesting what they decide they need to point out, and what they don't.
Cooking and eating a village chief?
I call BS!
I could be wrong but something about this story just doesn't ring true.
I was wondering if anyone could help me out by telling me how to go about finding out id my father died in prison. I was his victim and I have a lot to say. So let me know if there are any ideas. Thanks
