THE detention of Taliban prisoners at a dog-holding facility in Afghanistan has disgusted Muslim leaders in Australia, but the Rudd Government has defended the diggers responsible and the opposition says they should be cut "a bit of slack".
Both sides of Parliament today spoke out in support of the soldiers' treatment of the four prisoners, with Defence Minister Joel Fitzgibbon says were suspected of "atrocious" acts.
But reports of the incident, which occurred in late April, angered the leadership of Australia's Muslims, who regard dogs as unclean.
"I am appalled that Australian soldiers have been implicated with such disgusting treatment of human beings," Australian Federation of Islamic Councils president Iqbal Patel told ABC Radio.
"No human being should be in any way placed in a dog pen.
"I mean we've heard about the Americans doing similar things of late in Iraq, and one never expected that a great country such as Australia would go to such levels."
Mr Fitzgibbon said descriptions of the holding facility as a dog pen were provocative.
He said the soldiers had been on patrol far their main base in Tarin Kowt in southern Afghanistan, but near one of their forward operating bases.
"They did detain people suspected of the worst and most atrocious acts. And they detained them in the most practical way available to them at the time," Mr Fitzgibbon told ABC Radio.
"They were in a compound I've had described to me as a walled compound which I'm sure is used for a variety of purposes.
"I'm advised that the compound is from time to time used to hold dogs, yes. Dogs are a very important part of our operations there."
A defence inquiry report, released last Friday, found there was no evidence that the Taliban suspects had been mistreated.

More proof that Muslims have NO sense of irony whatsoever.
All Jihadists should be thrown in dog pounds if it makes them so apoplectic. Not to mention the Muslim sycophants in Australia who also complain
Oh shut up! Us Christians consider slaughtering innocents as 'unclean".
I am a appalled that there is so little disregard for the use of a dog kennel to detain muzzies. The kennel will have to be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected before it can be used to house dogs again.

Yeah. Its just to bad your not appalled at the inmumanity perpatrated by your fellow Islamofacists... Maybe then someone would care what you think....
Imagine how the dogs will feel when they are returned to their kennels.
[Their sense of smell is extremely acute]
Can’t be done.
Dogs can detect residual odors on the order of a few parts per million.
They’ll just have to burn it.
Our troops in Afghanistan say, you might be a Taliban if...
1. You refine heroin for a living, but you have a moral objection to beer.
2. You own a $3,000 machine gun and $5,000 rocket launcher, but you can’t afford shoes.
3. You have more wives than teeth.
4. You wipe your butt with your bare left hand, but consider bacon ‘unclean.’
5. You think vests come in two styles: bullet-proof and suicide.
6. You can’t think of anyone you haven’t declared Jihad against.
7. You consider television dangerous, but routinely carry explosives in your clothing.
8. You were amazed to discover that cell phones have uses other than setting off roadside bombs.
9. You’ve ever uttered the phrase, ‘I love what you’ve done with your cave.’
10. You have nothing against women and think every man should own at least one.
11. You bathe at least monthly whether necessary or not.
12. You’ve ever had a crush on your neighbor’s goat.
“I’m wracking my brain trying to figure out a situation in which moslems are *not* angered and outraged....and can’t think of one. “
Well they were pretty happy on 9/11.
There were no pig pens available?
And throw in a couple of pigs to boot.
“They’ll just have to burn it.”
Preferably before releasing the Taliban murderers.
I did leave that rather open-ended, didn’t I?....:)
And feed them only BLTs
super LOL! Thanks!
-— You may be a Taliban if you’ve mixed up your goats names with your wives names
Maybe they could have taught the muslims some civilized
pack behavior.

Ha haa! What hypocrites talking about how human beings should be treated!
