#1 And the left has already declared it a fake.

I'd say surprising, but it's not. I'd say disgusting, but that's understating it.

#2 The left declares everything that proves they are backing the wrong horse fake. Except the Bush Guard documents. Those are real.

The left is the sickness of the western world that needs to be eliminated.

#3 Of course it's fake! There was no illustration of a victim forced to wear panties on his head, which we all know is the worst act of torture conceivable!

#4 It's pretty easy to prove it genuine - just compare what it says in the manual with what we've seen from the bodies of victims we've recovered. That should REALLY put the left's undies in a bunch. And so fitting!

#5 Somehow the juxtaposition of the torture manual with abu ghraib needs to be made clear. Backchannel stories about the treatment of our kids after captured hasn't been made clear to the American public (probably out of a sense of decency for the families so they won't know the horrors their loved ones endured). Well this info has got to get out. Humiliation and sleep deprivation versus mutilation, horrible burning, gutting, drilling, etc.... the American people and the foolish general public need to understand what real abuse and torture is about, and understand that the enemy here isn't really civilized or even worthy of civilized treatment. They understand the strong horse treatment and raw power. Stop hamstringing those of us who are willing to really open up that can of whup-ass...

#6 During the algeria war, there was a similar problem : while the fln comitted unspeakable atrocities against neutral or pro-french algerians and against captured french or arab soldiers (the lest odious being to "simply" poke their eyes out and leave them for their comrades to find, otherwise it was even more gruesome), including some really EVIL acts (like french soldiers, draftees, going to rescue an isolated farm after a distress phone call, and in addition to finding the family slaughtered with the 14 years old daughter raped and beheaded, getting the horror of seeing the baby impaled in the oven, like a chicken ready to be roasted), the public opinion, stirred by the "usual suspects" focalized solely on what the french army was doing and its supposed brutality.

So, the minister of algeria published a book called "Aspects Véritables De La Rébellion Algérienne" (true aspects of the algerian rebellion), chokeful of pictures of mutilated, violated bodies, which was distributed among draftees to fight disinformation.

This was a step in the right direction, I think. Information warfare is as central now than then, I wonder why the US army and the gvt are not more proactive in that regard?

#8 Judging from your post, which has less brain-power than a monkey fart, you seem to be implying that I am going for the rounding up and killing of people that spout "leftist" thought.

"eliminate"
verb
1 [T] to remove or take away:
2 [T often passive] to defeat someone so that they cannot continue in a competition:
3 [T] SLANG to murder:

If you have ever been a reader of this page, you would realize that the first two would be the ones we talk about. Since the press is fully engaging in the repression of anything that doesn't fit their liberal script, we engage in other means of information dissemination.
Guess how many news outlets are reporting this?
0
How many "humanitarian" organizations are condemning it?
0
How many "progressive" talk shows will cover and condemn this?
0

What I am talking about is the elimination of this cowardly line of thought and actions. The left is happy to pile on a safe target, like the US. But will happily fold and renounce their rights just so they don't "offend" (see get decapitated or bombed by) violent psychopaths. We are in a contest of wills. I am moving to make the left lose against us, so we don't lose against Islamofascists.

Otherwise, you will be able to look forward to this kind of treatment by your new Islamic overlords.

And no one will come to save you.

#10 Since this is an Al-Qaeda torture manual, does this mean we are allowed to use it on a captured Al-Qaeda member?
