Good grief! Terrorists are now "insurgents" and interrogators are now "torturers."

Yippeee!
Goes to show Marines have to be smart, able to work with a foreign force, AND tough to get the job done.
Bet this won't make the nightly MSM news....that is unless someone dropped a Koran in the Bunker.

You're right about that. Maybe one of the Marines whizzed in a dust storm and some of the piss traveled a quarter mile hitting a Koran in the area? It would then make the MSM news but not for the find.

how can they hide something as large as a bunker with showers and a kitchen, when they couldn't hide the rather smaller in size chemical weapons? < /sarcasm >
