Makes you feel American don’t it?
Carolyn Hileman
You are blindfolded, brought to a dark room and questioned, you do not answer correctly and they hit you with what feels like wire, you still do not answer. You are then bound hands and feet and suspended upside down from the ceiling, you are burned repeatedly by what feels like an iron, still you do not answer, they leave you there for what could have been only seconds but feels like hours, then they cut the rope and allow you to fall to the floor. They ask you again, you do not answer correctly, they kick you and spit at you and kick you some more. They take off your blindfold but it is only so you can see the blowtorch coming ever so close to your skin, you still do not give them the answers they seek and so they begin to burn patches of your skin. They take a knife and slowly start to cut you over and over again making sure to stop just before they hit a vain. When it is determined you are of no use to them they set up a camera and they tape as they wield a dull machete across your neck, cutting your neck but not quite cutting completely through, then they wield it again and this time, the head falls off.
A lot has been said about what we Americans have done to our detainees, there have been public fights about showing pictures of them being tortured, I dare say none of those pictures would come close to comparing to what they do to our people, some only there to document what they say we are doing wrong. On May 24th 2007 a raid on an Al-Qaeda safe house produced what should have shocked the world, but it didn’t, they found pictures depicting torture devises such as a blow torch to the skin, cutting an eye out, along with meat cleavers, whips and wire cutters. Now you can say all you want about our military and they will still stand at the ready to protect you, whereas if you were to talk about their captors in the way you speak of our military you would be a head shorter. Is torture wrong? If it is solely for the purpose of hurting someone, yes, if it is to attempt to retrieve vital information that could prevent a terrorist attack, you be the judge.
The enemy made very clear their intent on 9/11; they meant to kill as many people possible with the least amount of effort. They succeeded, and then the liberals finished the job for them, they told you that our military were evil; they told you that they were nothing but murderers, they told you that evil was confined to one country and you believed them. It takes some unmitigated gall to turn on your country, your people and the very people who were defending you but you did it, you never once questioned what they said, they are the media, they must be telling the truth. You could not put any faith in the people who were over there, you could not possibly believe that they might know what they were talking about, they were the bad guys and somehow, someway you started believing that Al Qaeda was the good guys, the freedom fighters if you will. How could we possibly torture these people, the very ones who cut off heads on video so we could see, you chose them over your neighbors kids, the little boy who grew up just down the road when all they ever did was sign up to defend you.
Now there are some who still want to drag our soldiers through the mud, they want what they consider pictures of torture put on display for all the world to see and our troops are now required to read enemy combatants their rights, like this is some episode of cops. You turned your back on the very people who if caught will be tortured and beheaded for your freedom, makes you feel American don’t it?
