Look I can't imagine the pain a father must feel knowing their son turned traitor against his nation, but please don't tell me this kid is some sort of victim. He was bound to that stretcher so he wouldn't get up and attack US forces AGAIN.
I don't know if it is guilt or what, but your son is a traitor, pure and simple... he's lucky he only got 20 years.. he should have been executed.
I can't imagine his father feels pain knowing their son turned traitor against his nation. At worst he agrees with him. At best, he thinks it was a childish prank... you know, run off on a lark and do some jihad, like any other kid.
So now binding a prisoner to a stretcher is "Torture"? What a crock. This guy is an attorney. He knows exactly what he is doing!!
