Many of us have long suspected that the other side of this war does not have to play by the same rules. Burned and headless bodies turn up but because they were not caught in the act, torture has not been prove; yeah right. This week the Defense Department has released images from an Al Qaeda torture manual that was captured a few weeks ago during a raid on terrorist safe houses. The images are disturbing but do provide a clear depiction of the methods they are willing to and appear to have employed. To view these images go to Fox News.
These images should serve to educate the bleeding heart liberals on what our troops face if captured, but they will undoubtedly take the “we are not stooping to their level” view of torture. I am of the opinion that you reap what you sew and that if using torture gains our military information that can save even one life, then use every thing you can think of. This is a war; this is not a video game. The enemy is playing by its own rules and is willing to be as ruthless as possible in the process. The time has come for President Bush to stop trying to fight a PC war and take the gloves off.
