SARGODHA, Pakistan — Five Americans being held in Pakistan on suspicion of terrorism alleged they were being tortured in comments shouted to reporters Monday as they were driven from court.
Police and prison authorities denied any ill-treatment, and said the men did not bring up their complaints in court.
The allegations could add to political sensitivities surrounding the case, which comes amid growing anti-American sentiment in Pakistan. Washington is also calling for the Muslim country to do more to fight al-Qaida and the Taliban.

No muslim will ever be my countryman. I’ll never trust one. All five of them can rot where they are.

I hope these claims are true and the Pakistanis are indeed savagely torturing these jerks. I hope to see them with missing limbs and hopefully severed heads when that government is through with them.

... growing anti-American sentiment in Pakistan.Can you blame them? The Pakistanis see people from the USA coming to their country to join forces with the Taliban. I can't blame them for getting just a little pissed off about that.

How about the video of the "dancing three" peace loving agitators who "wandered" into Iran by accident.
Shake it, shake it, mullah, c'mon now shake it, shake it...

I was reading the Pakistani Defence forum when they were picked up. Wow....the posters, Muslim Paki nationalists,wanted them eviscerated. They hate, absolutely hate, anyone who cooperates with Taliban.
Think I posted an except on FR. Someone give me a heads up. Don't post unless you know the language (there were a few words not in English). Very bad stuff.

It is their "religious" duty to claim torture. It is right in the Al Queda handbook.
Anytime a terrorist can't kill innocent people it is torture to them.
