The excerpt I read was that the kid threw a grenade in a firefight that killed an American soldier. He’s lucky to be alive.
I caught a small amount of an NPR program this morning which detailed how we torture people at Gitmo — we play the Sesame Street themesong, we play the Barney themesong, and a number of pop songs (some heavy metal, but some sickly sweet). I think the implication was that WE were the bad guys because we play music — THEY are the noble freedom fighters who send suicide bombers into marketplaces where womena and children go shopping.
Thanks to the nutjobs on SCOTUS, justice is going to be meted out in the field. Why take a prisoner if he's going to be the darling of the ACLU?
He ought to have been killed, the dirty SOB.
