Elswehere in the country, a Washington Post reporter was told by US soldiers that he would be shot if he didn't turn around. I suppose that didn't happen either. Then the people at the Penatagon say "We have no information about [insert topic here]" and that's good enough, isn't it?

After reading the Independent (UK) and seeing "jouralists" report Taliban propaganda as "fact", and considering this is the NY Times, as close to the Independent as I've seen on our shores, I'd give the Pentagon the benefit of the doubt at this point.

Perhaps you choose to believe the US military are babykillers and beat up 60 year old men...I do not.

What kind of commie are you.

This is a war and soldiers aren't there to kiss and hug these people.

What article in the UCMJ did they violate?

What do you think they would have done if they captured one of ours? They would have quartered him and dragged him in front of the media and then hung him up in the center of town and then put his head on the front of a Toyota like a dead deer !

Don't you also know the Taliban published instructions saying to claim they were beaten by Americans if they were ever caught and released? Don't you think our soldiers know this fact?

Finally, so what if they got a little rough..at least they didn't kill them !
