Did you notice the American POW the Afghans are holding actually had clothes on?

[NNN0LHI]

Maybe the US should learn something from that.

1. That's not standard operating procedure!

Heads are gonna roll!

[cali]

2. yeah, the Taliban are just so great.

We can learn from them. right.

[kenny blankenship]

3. And he wasn't covered with shit or electrodes!

Very curious.

[Uzybone]

4. the girl they flogged to shit last month had clothes on too

lets not point to the Taliban for examples of humanitarian treatment.

[northernlights]

5. you've got a point

he didn't look half-starved. And where are the dogs?

[scarletwoman]

6. I absolutely cringe everytime I hear the statement issued by the U.S. military saying

"This is a violation of international law!"

I think, "Oh really? Are you fucking kidding me? Have you not noticed all the shit that OUR side has done over the past 8 years?"

We have NO moral high ground from which to lecture ANYBODY about "violating international law". NONE.

I am so sick of U.S. militarism and imperialism, literally sickened to my soul.

7. yes, that is cringe worthy

but the OP is absurd, inferring as it does, that somehow these people are humane. They aren't. And the odds that this soldier will be brutally tortured and have his head chopped off, are strong.

[theoldman]

8. I would guess that he has already been tortured.

He also knows that they will cut his head off if he is not rescued soon.

[EFerrari]

13. Writers imply, readers infer. The OP implied no such, you drew the wrong inference.

[obliviously]

18. He is mocking a man that may die tonight! N/T

[EFerrari]

19. Where does the poster mock the captive. That has to be the worst reading

I've ever seen at DU.

[kenny blankenship]

22. Smells like moran.

[Cirque du So-What]

9. I'm certainly no apologist for the Taliban

but it's relatively easy for them to gain the upper hand - morally - simply by refusing to mistreat US prisoners.

[elocs]

17. Unfortunately they are too stupid to grasp that point, but you are right.

They could take the moral high ground and make us look disgraceful.

[FrenchieCat]

10. So Why is CNN running the Taliban's propaganda on a loop D loop?

Is this supposed to help free the prisoner, if we see him over and over again?
Or is CNN a distributing arm of propaganda videos?
If I were the family of this man, I'd be fucking pissed....
knowing that the more this man becomes a public pawn,
the less of a chance he has to survive.

Oh well, I guess that with CNN and others,
News is news when they decide its news
and not a moment before,
and if it is news that they don't want you to know
then it is no longer news....or however that goes.

[Horse with no Name]

11. He was eating too

and nobody was pissing on his Bible.
Those BARBARIANS!

[spanone]

12. imagine a pic of him tied up nude with a female pointing at him with a cig dangling from her mouth?

we'd have to invade some nation

[Judi Lynn]

14. AND, he was not wearing someone else's used underwear over his face. n/t

[cherokeeprogressive]

15. Yup. He's one lucky fucker alright.

Lucky indeed, to have clothes on.

[stray cat]

16. You could offer to take his place so you can enjoy their civility fully

actually if you moved there you might enjoy the culture as well.

[EFerrari]

20. Or you could, since you are defending Bush's treatment of captives.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

23. You know, I find your username exceedingly apropos. Just saying. -nt

[pansypoo53219]

21. yet we still think we can yell

geneva cxonventions. NOW. fuck georgee + dickie.
