Didn't even know the dead body of a terrorist could be desecrated.

Come on, if stench was truly a factor they would be burning arabs alive over there.

I'm sure their eternal souls are burning hotter than their bodies did.

Guess they couldn't find a dead pig to bury the bodies with, eh?

I'm thumbing through my copy of the Geneva Convettions and...nope, don't see the signature of anyone representing the Taliban, or Talibanistan, or, for that matter, Al-Quaedastan.

Lefties are wailing like banshees about this.
What I think about that, would get me banned.

The lawyers have their snoots in this. Who says the dead bodies of terrorists (non uniformed combatants) are due any respect.
Also what about health considerations for the living. There must have been millions of flies about creating a health hazard. This is silly in the extreme.

But .. why didn't they just bury them ..?? After all, if the bodies were stinking already .. it wasn't going to smell better when they were burning.
I just don't understand why burn them .. why not just bury them ..??

Can't these jackasses ever get it into their heads that Geneva Convention Rights only apply to uniformed soldiers of a warring nation?!?!?!
To: blogblogginaway
Worldwide outrage?? Give me a break! How many times have I seen old footage of Japanese soldiers and concentration camp victims being buried with bulldozers? Why didn't the "outraged" muslims claim the bodies of these dead "freedom fighters"??
To: CyberAnt
Rocky hilly terrain makes for hard digging of graves. Plus bloated bodies tend to....explode.

Yeah, why not set up a fund for the funerals of the dead terrorists and bury them with full military honors?
To: blogblogginaway
I sincerely hope that this doesn't hurt this Lt's career. I completely fail to be outraged at any of this. What they did was eminently practical and useful in the situation and if it hurts some enemy feelings... well... too bad.

"Didn't even know the dead body of a terrorist could be desecrated."
And I suppose separating a head from a body isn't a desecration?

Please, no! We wouldn't want the Muslims to get mad at us as well as hate us, would we?
