Is this not torture??

Ok... maybe those literal definitions of torture that describe particular acts don't include using people's wives as bargaining chips. So, maybe it's not technically torture; it's just reprehensible.

And, yes, I know they are bad guys... but we are not supposed to be bad guys.

This is the kind of shit that makes it difficult to be American outside of the country... that and the fact that my fellow country-people seem to glaze over the obvious illegality of our position in this "war on terror."

Anywhere but here is looking really good right now.
