That ISIS fighter who was seen "crying like a baby" in a video that went viral over the weekend may have had a very good reason to cry.
ISIS fighters captured in Iraq with the help of U.S. forces are allegedly being tortured, the Daily Beast reports. And because the fate of ISIS prisoners is apparently low on their priority list, the Obama administration is looking away.
On Oct. 22, a team of Kurdish soldiers, backed up by elite commandos from the U.S. Army’s Delta Force, raided an ISIS prison compound in the Iraqi town of Hawija, where Kurdish intelligence indicated dozens of their own peshmerga fighters were being held. It turned out there were no Kurds in the prison, but 69 hostages were freed, and more than 20 ISIS fighters were killed.
The Kurds also took six ISIS fighters as their prisoners. And now, U.S. officials and humanitarian aid workers in the region tell The Daily Beast, it appears those prisoners are being tortured in Kurdish custody, in violation of international law.

Outrage over this? and no outrage over islamic state subhumans torturing and killing normal people? Anyone who is outraged over Kurds torturing the subhumans can go to hell.

I am sure that this was not done with Obama’s approval. He loves his ISIS buddies. I’ll bet it’s the troop saying to hell with it, Let the Kurds to deal with these mad dogs because Obama will just consider them “refugees” and import them to America .
I doubt 100% that our troops are interested in capturing any ice ISIS terrorists.

Report: ISIS Fighters Are Being Tortured by Kurds While U.S. Looks the Other Way If true then it's one of the few things we're doing over there that I don't have a problem with.
