Torture, Al-Qaeda Style
Drawings, tools seized from Iraq safe house in U.S. military raid
MAY 24--In a recent raid on an al-Qaeda safe house in Iraq, U.S. military officials recovered an assortment of crude drawings depicting torture methods like "blowtorch to the skin" and "eye removal." Along with the images, which you'll find on the following pages, soldiers seized various torture implements, like meat cleavers, whips, and wire cutters. Photos of those items can be seen here. The images, which were just declassified by the Department of Defense, also include a picture of a ramshackle Baghdad safe house described as an "al-Qaeda torture chamber."
It was there, during an April 24 raid, that soldiers found a man suspended from the ceiling by a chain. According to the military, he had been abducted from his job and was being beaten daily by his captors. In a raid earlier this week, Coalition Forces freed five Iraqis who were found in a padlocked room in Karmah. The group, which included a boy, were reportedly beaten with chains, cables, and hoses. Photos showing injuries sustained by those captives can be found here.

Is that an under-inflated basketball I see in that drawing?
O’Doughnut still wouldn’t believe it.
“Time to wake up The Gimp.”
Interesting that they depict themselves torturing other Muslims rather than “Jews and Crusaders”.
You make the mistake of thinking the muzzies do this for interrogation.
They do it for pleasure..........
Yep....bears repeating!
Does Pelosi have a copy?
Place could use some new paint !.........:o)
Stay safe Larry !
Sorry, not politically advantageous for the MSM and DemocRATS. "Torture, American Style" is a headline they can really sink their teeth into! Or how about "Gitmo closed; detainees now American citizens"! One of the major goals of the ACLU, no doubt. Actually, the latter headline will more than likely come true one day.
She referred to the comments of John Edwards, who said recently that the War on Terror is only a Republican bumpersticker and there is no real threat from terrorism.
Thanks, SolidWood...
Perhaps Harry the undertaker Reid will pass a sense of the Seante to stop this horrid behavior. Or maybe Nancy Pelicanosi will get legislation going to condemn this bad behavior ...
That’s exactly what he would say. Except he’d sprinkle the word “constitution” in there six or seven times for good measure.
Thanks for the {{{ping}}} fishtank. Glad to be part of TSN!
ATTENTION LEFT WING WHACKOS:
They will be coming to a state near you, or, even perhaps YOURS.
But that is so mean-spirited of you. They only act this way because we invaded the Middle East. As bad as those depictions of so-called acts of torture may seem to the untrained eye, it is far worse to play loud rap music and have a dog bark at blindfolded terrorists held at Gitmo. And putting panties on their head is the epitome of torture.
Damn liberal vermon.
Isn’t that funny how Nicholson is the “bad guy”, but he actually makes some good points.
Yes, I know... that doesn’t necessarily make him the expert on whether water-boarding is an appropriate tactic to employ in interrogation of Al Qaeda detainees, IMHO. This “manual” of torture techniques should make it clear that we have no obligation to treat these Al Qaeda detainees as Geneva Convention-protected prisoners of war.
I saw a lib prowling the mall two days ago, wearing his
“F_ _ K BUSH” t-shirt.
These people have gone insane. Theres no talking to them anymore. I say we let the terroists in for a few days in a Blue state, and let the Libs get a good taste of what they are missing.
