I know you all would just love this one.

[No Blue States]

Whats next Us Troops stomp on puppies heads?

Two of the three said they had been forced to insert a finger into their anus and then lick it, and were forced to put shoes in their mouths, particularly humiliating in Arab culture.

Uhhh...if those are my choices, I'll take the shoe, please.

Two of the three said they had been forced to insert a finger into their anus and then lick it, and were forced to put shoes in their mouths, particularly humiliating in Arab culture.

Of the two, they find it more humiliating to put shoes in their mouths? WTF?

[VanZant]

For crying out loud, what else can be thrown at us.

Years ago in Chicago, after a nasty el-train wreck near a busy intersection, various pedestrians began laying down near the wreckage in an attempt to gain some kind of financial/insurance award. This story reminds me of that.

[dts32041]

And the problem is?

After all they were stringers fro Reuters, who wouldn't know the truth if it hit them in the face.

BTW the finger in the anus is a sign of I love you among certain Al qeada members.

I guess they also do not understand what fillet of sole is?

Whats next Us Troops stomp on puppies heads? If they bite the heads off they might get a show on MTV

[Tacis]

Oh, oh! This will result in a very strongly worded letter of protest/complaint from the Israeli secret service and Mossad. They do not like their secret agnts to be mistreated by any one. Most, if not all, the Reuters folks in the middle east are reputed to be Mossad agents/employees/informants.

[Gorzaloon]

For crying out loud, what else can be thrown at us.

Consider the source: It's Roto-Reuter, a sworn enemy.

[dead]

"She's a my birthday too!"

[the_Watchman]

When I read that Reuters reporters were being abused I got my hopes up! But, there wasn't enough of them and they were probably the wrong ones, anyway. :(

[rrrod]

Finally some good news!

[marlon]

Well word is that Abdula is going to say that they made him dress up as a women and sing Barbara Streisand songs while the soldiers joined in as the chorus.

In fact Abdula says the only real way to get his manhood back is to allow him passage to the US and to give him a taxi cab medallion in NYC. Oh and a lifetime supply of slurpeys from Seven Eleven.

[b4its2late]

Whats next Us Troops stomp on puppies heads?

Nah. They'll be accused of beating baby seals, in the middle of the desert of course.

[VanZant]

Yeah, Of course, they are our enemies. Aren't they all? That doesn't mean that it won't be picked up by all the "mainstream media" and they'll run with it.

[stylin_geek]

It's from Reuters, and there is no background about the people making these claims. Evidently our "worldly and cultured" media elite have yet to understand the culture they are dealing with has a history of "exaggerated claims." (commonly known as "lying.")

Same thing with a city bus fender-bender in Los Angeles....the bus had only two passengers, but by the time the po-lice arrived, it was full.

[Right_in_Virginia]

U.S. forces beat three Iraqis working for Reuters and subjected them to sexual and religious taunts and humiliation

So now I'm supposed to believe this? ~~ ROFL!

[cyncooper]

Too bad Reuters has demonstrated they have no credibility or else I'd consider their "report".

Since they don't, I won't.
