Kurds in northern Iraq are holding hundreds of ISIS fighters prisoner, including one who told FoxNews.com in an exclusive interview that he killed as many as 70 people in the service of the radical jihadist army.
“Omar, “ a 25-year-old former Islamic State fighter from the Iraqi village of Dor sal-hadeen, said he killed scores of his countrymen and foreign contractors after joining “Daesh,” as ISIS is known in the region, in June. He said he fled the terrorist army in October, but was quickly captured by Kurdish security forces.
“They came to our area and forced me to protect their lands,” Omar said of his Islamic State commanders. “After a while they told me, ‘When are you going to start protecting your own land?’
“They told me to do it or die, and then they killed people in front of me,” said Omar, who is missing four fingers on his left hand from what he said was a 2009 industrial accident. The disability nearly got him killed by his ISIS handlers, he said, until he proved he could shoot right-handed.
Omar is currently being held in an undisclosed prison in Sulymaniyah, after being convicted of terrorism. He was initially sentenced to death, but a judge commuted the sentence to life in prison.

BUMP
Only 70?
Must be a ‘moderate’ muslim..........................
I’ve talked with several lib friends today who tried to convince me this was torture.
Told em waterboarding is for pussies and their species would have far more to worry about had I been in the room.
I would have gone medieval on them and with the drugs we have today, they would still be on the receiving end of my passion today.
LOL!
Yep, and it’s a shame he got a moderate judge too...
I would just love to ask DiFi the following:
1. How many of the terrorists DIED under our “torture”?
2. How many of the terrorists can no longer walk unaided
due to injuries from the “torture”?
3. How many of the terrorists are bodily scarred from
the torture?
4. How many of the terrorists were blinded?
5. How many of the terrorists were BEHEADED?
6. How many of the terrorists were CRUCIFIED?
7. How many of the terrorists have been released and are at this moment working to re-create the World Trade Towers?
This is the answer that would have actual numbers.
These people are serial killers.
Guessing you meant "deprivation".
The Kurds should drag this POS (and all the other captives) out into a desert setting and saw their heads off.
Youtube/LiveLeak it too.
Yep :)
Your six questions are irrelevant.
The standard we follow should not be based on whether others do even worse.
What that standard should be is open to reasonable debate.
Let’s get real here and it’s been reported in the past:
“The freakin Senate Intelligence Commitee was apprised of this as it was occuring”.
No one said “Hey, that’s not what we’re about. Stop”
Here are just some examples of what really happened and don’t fool yourself about any lady or grandmother being saintly and sweet.
In September 2002, four members of Congress met in secret for a first look at a unique CIA program designed to wring vital information from reticent terrorism suspects in U.S. custody. For more than an hour, the bipartisan group, which included current House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), was given a virtual tour of the CIA’s overseas detention sites and the harsh techniques interrogators had devised to try to make their prisoners talk.
“...on that day, no objections were raised. Instead, at least two lawmakers in the room asked the CIA to push harder, two U.S. officials said.
“The briefer was specifically asked if the methods were tough enough,” said a U.S. official who witnessed the exchange.”
The lawmakers who held oversight roles during the period included Pelosi and Rep. Jane Harman (D-Calif.) and Sens. Bob Graham (D-Fla.) and John D. Rockefeller IV (D-W.Va.), as well as Rep. Porter J. Goss (R-Fla.) and Sen. Pat Roberts (R-Kan).

See any freakin democrats on that list?
Fk them and their pure as the driven snow and high moral standing.
They approved of it and wondered if we could do more.
Like what? Serve em a birthday cake?
Cuz the sure in the hell wasn’t what they were asking.
None of the other lawmakers briefed raised formal objections. Those lawmakers included former Sen. Bob Graham (D-FL), former Sen. John Rockefeller IV (D-WV), former Rep. Porter Goss (R-FL) and Sen. Pat Roberts (R-KN).
“Individual lawmakers’ recollections of the early briefings varied dramatically, but officials present during the meetings described the reaction as mostly quiet acquiescence, if not outright support,” the Post added. ‘Among those being briefed, there was a pretty full understanding of what the CIA was doing,’ said Goss, who chaired the House intelligence committee from 1997 to 2004 and then served as CIA director from 2004 to 2006. ‘And the reaction in the room was not just approval, but encouragement.’”

There are more articles detailing just who knew and approved of this but, suffice to say if George Bush was such a bastard what does that make Pelosi and Rockefeller?
Dianne did not do her friends any favors and I hope the alternative media, at least, picks up on this.
If the Democrats want to serve as moralists, in hindsight, then let’s put everyone on the same pile of crap they are shoveling.
Ex effing zactly.
Fk them and that camel they rode on.
Good post...I remember that Pelosi and Harman were on that tour and am pretty sure I saw Jane Harmon talking about it in a video later on.
Here’s the catch for Harman:
“If her concience was so injured and her heart so broken, she should have violated her second oath of secrecy and screamed to high heaven what was going on.
Nancy Pelosi wouldn’t have had a chance to elbow Harmon oit of the way and she never would have been Speaker.
Additionally, there is no way Harmon would ever see a courtroom. She would have so many citizens behind her on this, no prosecutor would stand a chance at a conviction.
Most importantly, if this supposed dastardly act were so damned repugnant, these women could have shown light on this and ended it before “too many other murdering” prisoners sufferd another papercut.
