I just hope they don't torture him or send him to that awful place in Cuba...
ReplyDeleteI could not agree more!
ReplyDeleteBut for the record, nothing our troops have done to date should be considered even remotely close to torture.
Maybe we should blindofld them, tie their hands behind their back, put them in a burlap sack and toos 'em off a cliff like they do in Iran.
Or we could turn him over to a country that allows torture.
Or we should have not reported his capture, he could have been used for info then eliminated to be dumped in an Iraqi alley somewhere.
