Afghanis are famous for that type of behavior, even Afghani women. They mistreat prisoners as a matter of course. Now that's what I call an opening for Kipling! If you are wounded and left on Afghanistan's Plain, and the Women come out to cut up what remains Roll on your Rifle and blow out your brains and go to your God like a Soldier.

<detainees didn't die at Camp X-Ray in Cuba, it was at Baghram Air Force base > What difference does the physical location of the murders make? I understand the legal and diplomatic differences, but can you see any moral difference, or any difference it will make in the Court of Global Public Opinion? <if they were tortured or beaten it was by Afghanis, not US military personnel> That's what Sharon said, after Sabra and Shatilla. "Goyim kill Gogim, and blame Jews". So your position is "Muslims kill Muslims, and blame Americans." Sounds a lot like, "I wash my hands of their blood." Sharon has been washing his hands for decades, and the world still thinks they aren't clean. We are setting ourselves up for the same kind of PR disaster as Sharon had, if we allow this kind of thing to happen, and then don't take responsibility for it. <Afghanis are famous for that type of behavior, even Afghani women> This is the crudest type of racial stereotyping, and I don't think I'll respond in any further detail to it, as my response would be highly emotional.
