America Admits Suspects Died In Interrogations

two prisoners captured in Afghanistan in December had been killed while under interrogation

What can I add, other than......GOOOOOOD!!

[ErnBatavia]

Were the 3000 that died on 9/11 treated humanely?

This cannot be shown enough...

(I note with great interest, that this sort of picture is getting much, much more difficult to find on the search engines...this sucks)

So is this story bunk because of the source,or are we now killing POW'S? I want the truth reported on matters like this. If this is true, then it goes against what we have said regarding the Geneva Convention standards that the USA swore to uphold and will reflect badly upon us.

Regardless of if they deserved it or not, it is hypocritical for us to condone it. I believe we can "Torture" combatants without causing death. In fact I did like the part about the women kicking them, but killing them is not right. Flame on. I'll catch the heat in the morning. G'night.

I think it needs to read more accurately: Two terrorists killed. And so on. And so forth.

MM out.

Are they saying that Dano may have booked em one too many times?

engaging in culturally humiliating practices such as having them kicked by female officers.

That "humiliation" thing again. I think they should bring in female IDF soldiers to do the kicking.

Torture is part of a long list of concerns about the Bush administration's respect for international law, after the extrajudicial killing of al-Qa'ida suspects by an unmanned drone in Yemen and the the indefinite detention of "enemy combatants" at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, a number of whom have committed or attempted to commit suicide.

Two comments:

1) War is extrajudicial killing. Same as it ever was.

2) I have very mixed feelings about the use of torture. I despise those who gave us 9/11 and don't think that *anything* is too bad for them. On the other hand, any precedent that is set now and any powers that we cede to the government now in righteous anger, we also give to the next democrat administration- wether we like it or not.

This story stronly sounds like the murdering of Danny Pearl! Where were these so called human rights organizations when Danny's head was cut off for the whole world to see?

[Consort]

Rest in pieces.

Hopefully they were torn limb from limb.

Thanks for bringing us this picture....seems like lots of people need to be reminded why we are going to war with Iraq.

As for torture.....nobody deserves it more then the pukes and their relatives who brought us 9-11.

We must accomodate the Arabs' intrinsic sense of bigotry!

Hope you saw post #40 before you spewed.

Here's a quarter.

Call someone who cares.

Whoops. Shit happens.

[jackbill]

Pity.

[Dick Vomer]

Yawn..... uh did you say 2 died in what.... (rolls over goes to sleep).... hmmmm that's nice. See you in the morning.

[ErnBatavia]

this picture....seems like lots of people need to be reminded why we are going to war with Iraq.

I hate to have to do that, because it breaks my heart....kind of a reverse PETA, so to speak, though.

If I had the stomach for it, I'd try and figure out how to get it onto DU.com

[sheik yerbouty]

They were unlawful combatants. Shi'ite happens.
