    Movies have worse scenes than this.

    Heard it here first folks, if it’s in a movie, it’s not a war crime any more.

    I’ll say that I mostly agree, it’s good to be critical and sceptical, but I do think that defense is well worse than lukewarm. I’d almost say if you treat your prisoners anywhere near as badly as they do in most movies, you’re already well into war crime territory.

      It’s not a defense - I am just expressing how hard it is to really know what’s going on. It’s a good article though, and Common Dreams despite a strong liberal bias are known for factual reporting. There’s a good chance this is real, and that really sucks.
