Wow… you really made up a lot of stuff in that screed. Nice job… fiction seems to be your specialty.

But this is the problem with today’s very far Left / blue-bloggers like Jelperman. Their hatred of all things Bush/Cheney, have manifested into non-reality where they can’t tell the truth from the lies they’ve made up. They hate Bush so much, they’d gladly see KSM or one of his terrorist allies released, simply because they think the could attack Bush with it. The actual situation, the memory of what happened 8 years ago doesn’t register… only hate for Bush. It’s amazing to me how they warp the truth to fit their hate… but as Jelp demonstrates, it’s not about the safety of American’s… it’s about the destruction of Bush… that is priority number one, everything else is worthless.

The Telegraph (a conservative paper in London) has the details.

Two young sons of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the suspected mastermind of the September 11 attacks, are being used by the CIA to force their father to talk.

Yousef al-Khalid, nine, and his brother, Abed al-Khalid, seven, were taken into custody in Pakistan last September when intelligence officers raided a flat in Karachi where their father had been hiding.

He fled just hours before the raid but his two young sons, along with another senior al-Qa’eda member, were found cowering behind a wardrobe in the apartment.

The boys have been held by the Pakistani authorities but this weekend they were flown to America where they will be questioned about their father.

Last night CIA interrogators confirmed that the boys were staying at a secret address where they were being encouraged to talk about their father’s activities.

“We are handling them with kid gloves. After all, they are only little children,” said one official, “but we need to know as much about their father’s recent activities as possible. We have child psychologists on hand at all times and they are given the best of care.”

Their father, Mohammed, 37, is being interrogated at the Bagram US military base in Afghanistan. He is being held in solitary confinement and subjected to “stress and duress”-style interrogation techniques.

He has been told that his sons are being held and he is being encouraged to divulge future attacks against the West and talk about the whereabouts of Osama bin Laden.

“He has said very little so far,” one CIA official said yesterday. “He sits in a trance-like state and recites verses from the Koran. But while he may claim to be a devout Muslim, we know he is fond of the Western-style fast life.

“His sons are important to him. The promise of their release and their return to Pakistan may be the psychological lever we need to break him.”

So not only did the Cheney-Bush Junta water torture Khalid Sheikh Mohammed 183 times (a crime the Allies hanged Captain Matsuo Komei and other Imperial Japanese officers for committing during World War 2), but they abducted his small children and held them hostage to get him to agree to the Junta’s lies. Read the bolded part again and keep two facts in mind when you do:

1) The Cheney-Bush Junta and their apologists don’t consider anything to be torture unless it causes death or organ failure.

2) Psychologists have been Bush’s willing executioners ever since the Crawford Caligula and his henchmen approved the use of torture.

I think the American people have the right to know just how many times a six-year-old boy was water tortured in front of his father to make him talk. In addition, we need to know how many times the 8-year-old was tortured as well.

Are you proud of being a citizen of a country that would do such a thing?

Tater: Thanks for your service, and good questions. Given that enemy combatants are now being given full constitutional rights, it will be interesting to see how this whole trial plays out. I wonder how they are going to get a “jury of his peers” in NY? Will there be a religious test for potential jurors, no Christians allowed? I guess in the case of machine gunners the ROE will be take no prisoners.

Another item of future concern. As a combat Marine whose primary weapon during wartime was the use of a machine gun (m-60), how am I or any future machine gunners suppose to give the enemy their “NOW” required Miranda rights (as per the Attorney General Holder) before I blow them away? What if they live and are taken prisoner? Are they to be let free because they were not given their rights?

Oh, and dude from E&P – There’s actually been a couple of places in the heartland, who have halfway volunteered to take the Guantanamo prisoners because they could use the jobs.
