"American military officials acknowledged yesterday that two prisoners captured in Afghanistan in December had been killed while under interrogation at Bagram air base There is nothing in the article to support the "while under interrogation" claim.

Is this writer a member of the distinguished Gumbel family that spawned Bryant?

Amazing how they can blow 2 isolated incidents...ones for which we don't know the whole story...into smearing the Bush Administration with a policy of torturing prisoners.

Shocking. A tragedy. A disgrace.
So, anything good on TV?

Oh, and I don't care how many of the 'detainees' at Gitmo take the cowardly exit from life. Give them the rope if they want it.

...reviving concerns that the US is resorting to torture in its treatment of Taliban fighters and suspected al-Qa'ida operatives. If it saves ONE American life, then it is worth it. What do these namby-pamby wimps expect? We are fighting for our lives.

Question to the press: Why limit the retrospective reporting to December at this point? Why not go back to the Revolutionary War while you're at it... Oh, I'm beginning to see WHY this is being reported NOW.
To: blam
While the US claims this still constitutes "humane" treatment, human rights groups including Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch have denounced it as torture as defined by international treaty.
Let's have AI and HRW go to Iraq and North Korea; you know, somewhere where their dedication to what they say they believe in actually causes them to run a little personal risk and show how much they really care.

spokesman for the air base confirmed that the official cause of death of the two men was "homicide", contradicting earlier accounts that one had died of a heart attack and the other from a pulmonary embolism. Does this "spokesman" have a name? Total BS.

Were the 3000 that died on 9/11 treated humanely?
Will those who will fall victim to these terrorists thugs in the future be treated humanely?
We've got a lot more to kill before the score is even.

They still suffered less than they would if I were interrogating them.

The
Independent is anything but.
It's to the left of the Guardian, which is a sucky liberal paper.
Two prisoners died of their injuries, probably incurred before capture or during it, and suddenly this becomes proof of torture to death. Amazing that we would admit it, eh?

I wanna talk to those "female officers" that got to kick 'em. Does the US military have female MPs just for this purpose?
