May God amplify the long silenced truth these patriots proclaim, from the mountain tops. May the echos repeat ever louder until Kerry's lies are exposed for what they are and forever silenced.
>>The 45-minute film opens with scenes of the dank cells at the Hanoi Hilton where the oppressive silence would only be broken by "cries of pain." One POW recalls the intense pain of the torture they suffered, explaining that "the rope was the worst." Following one such session, designed to win a confession of war crimes, another explains that for days afterward he was unable to move his body from his shoulders down. Ken Cordier, held for over six years, explains that they would be brutally manacled until they "screamed loud and long enough" to be released in exchange for information and confessions. Any injury was specifically targeted in order to break the captives more quickly. Tapes of Jane Fonda accusing them of being war criminals were played in their cells.<<
Did you hear any rumors about our troops twisting a prisoners broken arm to get confessions or suspending them from the ceiling by their arms which were tied behind their backs?
No you didn't, that's what actual torture is about. Our troops humiliated the Iraqis, they never got close to torturing them.
Bump--Good article.
Thanks Misty.
Bttt
You're welcome!
I ordered my copy of the movie last night. Even if it airs on TV I hope they sell many copies to help with the cost.

Torture as defined by our liberal kinsmen, admirers of our enemies, whoever that enemy may be, is any discomfort experienced by those captive enemies. Anything inflicted upon our own troops by our enemies, is merited, according to the mentally ill opinion of America's sh*t headed left.
What would really qualify as torture for those Muslim prisoners, would have been forcing them to treat women as fellow human beings with equal rights.
I'm ordering it also and passing it around. Hope it gets here fast!!!
I have been saying that for years. She probably skated because it was not an officially declared war, but also because so many in the public just wanted to put Vietnam behind us. The idea that so many of the people who created the most problems back then were able to manuever the political landscape and serve in various positions in the government boggles my mind. Tom Hayden made a mess out of Santa Monica, Ca. Angela Davis is still influencing our University kids. Some of the biggest violators ended up in Congress, for crying out loud. Clearly many in the public simply know not who they are dealing with.
The bastard belongs in Ft. Leavenworth - Not DC.
I need to get a good Ping thingy. :)
Amazing, isn't it? I hardly equate panties over the head with having no head at all! I am one of those people who think we are simply too nice to some of those detainees!
You are welcome, Snippy! Are you still hanging on to Oregon's vote for us???? Did you get to see the President?
Thanks, Ronnie! Of course, your unit will always be on my "Hero" wall! :)
Thanks for the post, ping!
I'll bet Old Hanoi Jane is regretting johnnyboy's bid for office now. Bet neither of them anticipated this reinspection of their criminal, immoral, abhorent behavior.
The Lord DOES work in mysterious ways.

Patriotic BUMP!
I hope mine is here fast too! I would love to order 10 copies!
