Note that all the negative media spin about prisoners being executed turns out to be false. Yet without any investigation they repeated it ad nauseam to try to drive a wedge between the US and the NA, and to harm public support of the war effort at home. There is nothing the left hates and fears more than US success.

"Where am I from?" His English was impeccable. He surveyed the compound and sniffed the air, as if trying to recollect some distant memory. "I was born in America." "Where?"
Again he looked around, as though searching for inspiration. "Baton Rouge," he said. "Baton Rouge, Louisiana you know it, yeah?"
Who was this man? How had he come to fight in this distant land? Before he could answer the guard prodded him on. He glanced back one last time before taking his place in the container.
To bad he survived. Now the will leftists in America will support this traitor.

Newsweek has a article posted on their site about the one American that was captured. In that article he said he was from the D.C. area. There is also a grainy picture of him. He has a leg-foot injury so it is probably the same person as in this story. He may be the first American to be tried in a Military trial or he may be brought back here and be tried as a traitor.

"
Had they been determined to fight to the death? Some of those in the battle had shown no mercy to anybody. Or were others merely prisoners caught up in a brutal revolt by diehard fanatics?
Through the murk of the basement and the battle, it seemed impossible to tell. I peered into the darkness and then turned and went back up to the air and the light."
I'll tell you what isnt hard to determine now...
They're all dead.
You liberal cakeboys can work out the touchy-feely details.

No virgins for these guys!!!!

Yet another version of the story about how the prison "riot" started.
To: Pokey78
At the entrance to the bunker, where we had stood a minute before, two rescue workers had been shot, one in the hand, one in the leg. Groaning, they were being pulled to safety.It's just not always feasible to accept the surrender of an enemy like this. Sometimes, you just have to make a decision not to take prisoners.
False surrenders should be treated as war crimes.
The problem with that is that the criminals are usually dead afterwards.

"Looks like we've got 84 more of the bastards to execute." I have LOTS of ammunition, and I am free to travel. If they need help executing these morons, count me in!

"We were very hungry," he said, chewing on a Red Cross apple.Oh...so that's where the Red Cross diverted the funds that were supposed to go for 9/11 victim relief.
I realize that they've done a 180 on this issue but they'll get no further donations from me.
To: RippleFire
I'm looking for ANY stories about the survivors who were pulled from the World Trade Center. Seen any?

>"They will eat your apples and bananas and then blow us all up," warned Abdul Rakhman
........on a later date at their convenience. I'd say Abdul is up to speed on the do's and dont's of terrorist handling.

False surrenders should be treated as war crimes. Using violence after surrendering is a crime. Under the Geneva Convention all 84 can be charged as civil criminals, and lose their P.O.W. status if convicted.
Crime? Murder or accessory to murder. Under the circumstances (in a prison, after surrendering) that is a death penalty in both the United States and Afghanistan. And, yeah, in Texas, they would be judged as continuing to pose a threat to society -- one of the conditions for a death penalty. In Afghanstan, you do not need special circumstances for a death penalty. You need mitigating circumstances for a life sentence.
So hold a quick field court, then shoot them. The NGO may howl but it will be legal. (If you simply shoot them, then you may have committed a war crime. but if you try them first, it is legal.)

Guys:
I've got no truck for Al Quaeda or the Taliban. But the Red Cross was _created_ to assist prisoners of war. And that's what these guys are until they're tried and convicted.
Many of them aren't going to get executed. In some cases, we won't even know one way or the other (read the executive order.) Some of them will spend the rest of their lives in Minnesota or Illinois. Others will be repatriated. Some will have a bullet put through the back of their head. But until they do, they're POWs.
Don't knock the international Red Cross for doing their job. They minister to everyone, regardless of their affiliation. They got packages to our boys in Nam, they'll send observers in to try to keep people from killing our people in other areas and they get the word back when it doesn't work. That's their job and they generally do it pretty well.
Just as those SF and SAS guys did a good job of killing those m'f'kers.
