Dramatics?
IF this is true, that American military has tortured prisoners, then I'm not sure that this is the same country that I've known for the last 45 yrs. This stuff sounds more like the old Russian KGB than the U.S. Army.

Dramatics. Over a couple of shots to two illegal combatants.

If we're talking about the CIA alternating sodium pentathol injections with electrodes on the nuts being administered to a domestic dissenter; for example, that idiot college professor in New Mexico that said "Anyone who blows up the Pentagon has my vote", than we have a valid analogy.

OK dramatics may not have been fully accurate either. Let's try 'hyperbole' on for size.

I stand by that statement.
IF it is true that the US military is now in the business of torturing prisoners, whether they be soldiers of another country, alleged terrorists, or proven terrorists, that is not the country I have known and loved for the past 40 years and it does sound more like the old Russian KGB than the US military I served.

If that is all it was, a couple of shots because they were instilling a riot, fighting their captors, etc, I have no problem with it.
Again, IF it was deliberate torture, then I have a problem with it.

And again, it will take more than this article to convince me that these two were tortured by anyone in the US military..
