Interesting, if true.

How long before the fingers show up on ebay?

I'll take two, please.

I doubt it's true. You can get very adequate tissue samples by swabbing inside the cheek. It wouldn't be any more "degraded" in a corpse than a finger.

To some, it began to look as if earlier stories of huge caves fitted with modern conveniences were a fable told by Afghans to gullible journalists in return for large sums of money.

Surely, the professional know-it-all, superior-to-the-rest-of-humanity, we-will-lead-the-masses, journalists wouldn't be hoodwinked...again! (Didn't they learn how to avoid that after 8 years of Clintonics?)

All the signs are that the American goal from the beginning was to kill as many Al-Qaeda fighters as possible.

Plan your work and work your plan.

I can think of some other body parts they should cut off.

"...asking another on his radio why his men were killing Arabs willing to surrender."

The writer of this article makes the assumption that the arabs' offer was legitimate and not fake. Either way, more dead anti-American arabs is a good thing.

They told of cornering one Arab fighter who had lost both his legs but fought to the death

Just a flesh wound.

[McGavin999]

One Afghan commander was overheard 10 days ago asking another on his radio why his men were killing Arabs willing to surrender.

I guess the poor simpleton who wrote this didn't understand the lesson of Kunduz/Mazar-i-sharif. He'd probably prefer more Afghan and Americans were slaughtered by being duped into believing the Arabs wanted to surrender again.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me!

An order of al-Queda fingers to go? Will there be any fries with that?

They told of cornering one Arab fighter who had lost both his legs but fought to the death in his foxhole.

This is some statement. How hard can it be to corner a man with no legs. Why waste the bullet. Let him bleed to death. His 72 virgins will make it all better. LOL
