SYDNEY, Australia - Australian special forces in Afghanistan detained four suspected Taliban militants captured in April in pens sometimes used to hold dogs, the defense minister said Tuesday.
Many Muslims consider dogs impure and the head of Australia's main Islamic group strongly criticized the actions of the special forces. Afghanistan's ambassador to Australia Amanullah Jayhoon said the reports were troubling but stopped short of criticizing the soldiers.
Australian Defense Minister Joel Fitzgibbon defended the special forces, saying the detainees arrested on April 29 were held in the most secure place available before they were transported to a detention center in the town of Tarin Kowt in southern Uruzgan province. He confirmed the four suspected insurgents were held for 24 hours in a compound occasionally used to house dogs.

Gosh. Did the big, bad special forces men humiliate the Muslims?
They behead us. I'm fed up with the moral equivalence of so many.
Underwear on their heads? The Left in this country thinks that's torture.

LOL. That’s a lot better than they did some NVA troops I saw.

Give them the same treatment they gave their women, like pull fingernails out with pliers.

That’s terrible — unless the dog pens were thoroughly disinfected, hosed down and sprinkled with holy water afterwords.
