Prisoners die in containers

Never liked canned meat. Always reminds me of a Monte Python skit on SPAM.

[AppyPappy]

Sad. Very sa....hey, it's tea time.

[Bubba_Leroy]

It is kinda hard to work up a hellovalot of sympathy for dead Taliban, ain't it?

[billhilly]

With all of that remorse, how can you even think, it's tea time.?

[John Hines]

i estimate this means that over the next twenty years, 800-1200 civilians will not die because these guys were not available for terrorist ops.

how many civilians in england, northern ireland, scotland and wales have died in terrorist acts by from ira "true believer" types after the truce? the number's gotta be in the hundreds. almost every one of these deaths can be traced to an ex-ira guy that the brits let go. no sense to repeat that kind of mistake.

[Bahbah]

I think it means that they are killing each other.

[ZOOKER]

Wonder how many foreign talibans will see this post and fight to the death rather than go home?

[daler]

Most unfortunate.

By the way, how 'bout them Steelers?

[DinkyDau]

All of them, Ihope.

[Henk]

Hopefully all of them

[KSCITYBOY]

I was just doing the math and for each terrorist that dies your saving 190 lives, therefore 76,000 INNOCENT people will live a long full life because these idiots aren't around anymore. What time was tea being served?

[Saundra Duffy]

What goes around comes around.

[Fiddlstix]

Terrible. Just terrible...
*Yawn*
Oh well....

[ZOOKER]

Your screen name brings back memories...

I'm really double-minded about this, don't want to see anyone so cruelly killed but also don't want to see terrorists back in business in another country, either.

I guess my point was not about morality of the NA abusing prisoners, more about "is this propoganda designed to discourage taliban troops from surrendering?"

[hopespringseternal]

Cry me a river.

Sounds like the natives are plenty pissed at the foreign oppressors.

Too bad Johnny bin Laden wasn't found in a can.

No, it looks like the Northern Alliance is killing captured Taliban, with methods which are quite reminiscent of the Nazi's handling of 'detained' Jews.

[classygreeneyedblonde]

Their doin good

[ahmedtousay1]

Does that mean that people kill each other when they are in combat? It was such an open-ended comment about who "each other" are. Some posters here exhibit a weak mental fortitude. Clarification is sometimes the order of the day.
