Report: ISIS Fighters Are Being Tortured by Kurds While U.S. Looks the Other Way
PJ news ^ | November 30th | Debra Heine

Posted on 12/01/2015 8:52:31 AM PST by AngelesCrestHighway

That ISIS fighter who was seen "crying like a baby" in a video that went viral over the weekend may have had a very good reason to cry.

ISIS fighters captured in Iraq with the help of U.S. forces are allegedly being tortured, the Daily Beast reports. And because the fate of ISIS prisoners is apparently low on their priority list, the Obama administration is looking away.

On Oct. 22, a team of Kurdish soldiers, backed up by elite commandos from the U.S. Army’s Delta Force, raided an ISIS prison compound in the Iraqi town of Hawija, where Kurdish intelligence indicated dozens of their own peshmerga fighters were being held. It turned out there were no Kurds in the prison, but 69 hostages were freed, and more than 20 ISIS fighters were killed.

The Kurds also took six ISIS fighters as their prisoners. And now, U.S. officials and humanitarian aid workers in the region tell The Daily Beast, it appears those prisoners are being tortured in Kurdish custody, in violation of international law.

If they want sympathy it’s in the dictionary right between $h^t and syphilis.

B.O. may be looking the other way, but he will not arm the Kurds.

Cruz has the right idea about arming the Kurds. With better weaponry, imagine what they could do.

Well, these guys have beheaded, shot, crucified, stoned, dismembered, hanged, and beaten to death a few thousand people, burnt and drowned them in cages, and thrown them out of upper storey windows, but that doesn’t mean they wouldn’t make great immigrants! Note to State Department: be sure to move them into Republican states.

It’s pretty much the way things go over there. When in Rome ..

Let me guess. Now the US will call for humanitarian aid to ISIS? Grant them refugee status?

Yup. Obama gives the Kurds light arms and blankets when we really need to give them heavy artillery and training to call in effective airstrikes.
