"Bastards" and "rag heads." Oooh, the fundie fur is going to fly over exposing the children to such filthy language.

5. He was probably using the screwdriver
to put together an Ikea futon for a prisoner with a heart problem so he wouldn't have to sleep upright shackled to the ceiling.


It became a kind of running joke, and people kept showing up to give this detainee a common peroneal strike just to hear him scream out 'Allah,' " he said. "It went on over a 24-hour period, and I would think that it was over 100 strikes."

<snip>

In February, an American military official disclosed that the Afghan guerrilla commander whose men had arrested Mr. Dilawar and his passengers had himself been detained. The commander, Jan Baz Khan, was suspected of attacking Camp Salerno himself and then turning over innocent "suspects" to the Americans in a ploy to win their trust, the military official said.

<snip>

They were later visited by Mr. Dilawar's parents, who begged them to explain what had happened to their son. But the men said they could not bring themselves to recount the details.

"I told them he had a bed," said Mr. Parkhudin. "I said the Americans were very nice because he had a heart problem."

6. Haven't heard that one
since Back in the Day.

Like, seriously folks, how did America ever come to believe that we weren't as evil and selfish as other people when given half a chance?
