Amen. Let the brutality begin. Animals will be treated like animals.
Human Rights Watch is a tool for the Islamofacist jihadis and of the traitorous left. Just another hit piece on our troops by the MSM which support the terrorists.
YEP!
Since the Geneva Convention doesn't apply to prisoners in the WOT, the acts wouldn't be illegal. My question is, are these soldiers going on record?
The USSC is WRONG -- the Geneva Convention accords do not apply to terrorists. Moreover, Congress precluded judical review.
A definite terrorist tool. Soros is behind this evil.
I looked at the headline than looked at the source. I didn't need to read any further.
