Army: Soldiers did mock executions

Witness statements from his platoon said Yancey took a boy detainee out of a truck and fired his weapon next to the detainee's head.

[...]

In another incident, just two days later, Yancey's platoon found a man and his sons taking metal from an ammunition factory. A sergeant in the platoon detained the bunch and asked the man to choose which son should die.

Witnesses in the platoon said the sergeant took one of the sons around the corner of a building and fired a shot to scare the father into believing his son had been shot.

Martin took one suspect to a remote desert location and forced him to dig his own grave, interrogated the man and then ordered soldiers to pretend to shoot him, according to sworn statements in the documents.

Note that they said he was interrogated BEFORE they pretended to shoot him. I dunno what you would call it but I call it sadistic, immoral and torture. This is what the Bush administration condones by stance that the geneva convention does not apply to non prisoners of war. That's why these poor bastards in Iraq and Gitmo are NOT classified as such. That why they give silent approvalt to detainee's beeing RENDERED to countries that DO allow torture within their borders.

If people visiting this site consider themselves moral, consider themselves Christian then you simply CANNOT allow this sort of treatment to continue and if you remain silent you are just as guilty as the animals who are doing the torturing. No amount of hand washing or confession will cleanse your soul.
