I don't think the Lion story is true.

But I do believe that one of the Iraqi detainees was turned into a newt. He told me so.

As part of their allegations, which are being brought to light as part of a lawsuit brought by the American Civil Liberties Union, the men allege that, in July 2003, "U.S. soldiers ...threatened [them] with live lions."

The ACLU - conducting traitorous activities with taxpayer money. DEFUND THE ACLU...

Something about the "seriousness of the charge" that's important to the left, not the guilt or innocence.

Anyway, after the troops opened the cage door, did the lions, er, kind of walk around, or just lie there, or roar or what?

Like, here I am in a foreign country, just arrived, and I'm in charge of the lion cage, and like I'm going to OPEN THE DOOR, right?!?!?!

The story falls down right there. On the other hand, these particular detainees knew all about the lions, and seem to have been "old friends" or something.

Could it be they used to "feed" them before Saddam's fall?

Who let these guys loose!

It's not whether or not they were actually put in a cage with lions that did or did not exist, it's whether or not the ACLU and ABC News can make them seem convincing.

The press puts out so much crap on this torture BS that any prisoner will claim to have been tortured and the MSM will eat it up. I don't know of any of our people being captured and being around to talk to anyone afterward. If these dirt bags are talking to ABC then we didn't torture them enough.

What does the ACLU have to do with this? I thought they were to protect the civil liberties of Americans?

"Even a bit of rudimentary research was able to show the story about the lions was inaccurate. However, neither ABC nor, apparently, the ACLU bothered to conduct that research before making their charges. That failure seems to indicate both organizations are more concerned with their agendas than the truth."

Unfortunately 'Federal Review' is lacking even mroe in the research department.

Apparently there were more lions.

Maybe the interrogators tortured them by showing them pics of Jocelyn Wildenstein.
