The Death of Common Sense, Part 1

Three Navy SEALS - who, for those who don't know, are among the very best of the very best in the American military and are more highly trained than almost anyone on earth - are about to go on trial for the supposed abuse of the prisoner Ahmed Hashim Abed, who masterminded the killing and mutilation of American contractors in Iraq.

This is wrong on so many levels I don't even know where to start, but I will open with the tidbits that 1) This guy was not in American custody for the entirety of his capture, which would violate the chain of custody rules in any (liberal) American courtroom; and 2) The Al-Quaida training manual specifies that anyone captured by Americans needs to scream that he was tortured, beaten, and otherwise mistreated by our troops, as they know that the politically correct dimwits that have been making the rules in this country would rather prosecute our own troops than see a terrorist scumbag get a bloody lip (see this case as an object example).

There are people in this country who view the unfortunate actions by a misguided few at Abu Gharave as torture. This stuff makes me sick; I will say for the first time (on this blog) but certainly not the last that political correctness will be the death of this country.
