The four hostages known to have been beheaded earlier this year by the Islamic State militant group in Syria suffered severe physical torture before their deaths, according to a published report.
The New York Times says that hostages were severely beaten, starved, underwent mock executions, and were even waterboarded by their captors. The paper reports that the American and British hostages, including beheaded journalists James Foley and Steven Sotloff and aid workers David Haines and Alan Henning were singled out for the worst torture, largely because Washington and London have refused to pay the ransoms provided by other Western governments. The Times claims that the waterboarding was so dreaded by the hostages that their fellow prisoners were relieved if they came back from an encounter with their guards covered in blood.

Prepare and reload FRiends, it's only the beginning.
And at leaat several of these people were liberals, confident that their progressivism would protect them like a force field. And every time a progressive is killed by a muslim, progressives quickly settle down and think that its all over, like zebras watching lions eat one of their own at a watering hole, relieved that they weren’t the one eaten. Yet.
Best analogy ever.
Wake up America!!
Obola protects ISIS, his created terrorist group,
while he and the EXEMPT Congress, attack the Homeland
with biological weapons of mass destruction using
Quartering.
I am absolutely certain that their father (satan) is very pleased.
You are absolutely correct, we are at war with Islam. These damn PC correct liberal nuts would sing it loud and proud if one of their loved ones had their head hacked off with a 6” knife.
Wow, well at least they didn’t waterboard them, that would have been beyond the pale!
Riiiiiiiiight?
Or put panties on their heads, now that truly would have been evil.
Read the article - they did waterboard them,and the NYTimes was sure to point out (several times) that the torture included waterboarding.
A “select few” were waterboarded, according to the article.
We were not at war with ISIS
They were at War with us
There is a difference !
I would encourage any army opposing ISIS to have a "battle flag' of a BRAZZIER,
as any musslime killed by a women will NOT go to heaven (according to their doctrine)
that way , ...they will think twice before engageing in battle !
It's sorta like Obdinga going against Michelle.. it ain't gunna happen !!
“We are at war with Islam and anyone who disagrees is a fool!”
I agree with that statement. However, it appears that Islam is and has been at war with us, and we have not been at war with them all along.
Thanks my good FRiend, I almost forgot my Christianity...
Beyond the pale is not reading the story.
I can see some severe beatings, moderate starvation... even simulated executions, but NOT the infamous waterboarding. That is simply not acceptable! /sar
That is a great analogy. And so true.
And they were sure to state the waterboarding was the worst type of torture there was.
Exactly.
