‘How-to’ Manual Found in Al Qaeda Safe House Shows Disturbing Torture Methods

Sunday, May 27, 2007

WASHINGTON — Al Qaeda terrorists use blow torches, electric drills and meat cleavers to torture and force information out of their victims, according to a "how-to" book discovered in a terrorist safe house in Iraq.

The Defense Department recently released disturbing images and cartoons showing how to torture a captive found by American forces during a raid on a Al Qaeda safe house a few weeks ago. They also found photos of tortured Iraqi victims.

The book guides followers of Al Qaeda how to interrogate and torture captives.


The drawings and cartoons depict ways to use electric drills and irons, meat cleavers and other devices to force victims to talk or harm them.


Some of the drawings show how to drill hands, sever limbs, drag victims behind cars, remove eyes, put a blowtorch or iron to someone’s skin, suspend a person from a ceiling and electrocute them, break limbs and restrict breath and put someone’s head in a vice.


Items found at the safe house include electric drills, hammers, blow torches, meat cleavers, pliers and wire cutters, chains, screw drivers, whips and handcuffs.


Earlier this week U.S. troops found the information near [COLOR=darkgreen ! important]Baghdad[/color], along with five Iraqis being held.


Gen. Peter Pace, chairman of the [COLOR=darkgreen ! important]Joint Chiefs of Staff[/color], told reporters Thursday that Al Qaeda poses a dangerous threat to the United States for years to come.


"Clearly, whatever military advice we give, both in Iraq and regionally, must take into account that this group — of Al Qaeda — has targeted free nations, to include the United States, and how our long-term plan and our long-term recommendations must deal with that very real threat to the United States," Pace said at a Pentagon briefing.


Defense Secretary Robert Gates said the United States continues to direct most efforts to defeating Al Qaeda, but he predicted insurgents in Iraq will ramp up attacks this summer.


"I think the worry that we have is clearly what we have seen over the past year: that whatever progress is made — and particularly in the last few months — often is overshadowed when Al Qaeda will launch a major attack that kills a lot of innocent civilian Iraqis," Gates said.

You guys tell me why the media hasn't brought this up more and why we're pushing for so much plushiness for those we capture when we know what they're doing to their captives. Someone please explain to me why? Someone please explain how the leftists in this country want to fight for every little abuse of someone's rights yet they think we should just pull out of Iraq and allow this crap to go on.

There is no reasoning with people like this. I don't think they will ever make it out of the dark ages.

It was in the media back in 2007. But the American attention span is short.

I saw Geraldo debate this on Fox. Our Constitution applies everywhere for everyone? This is war!

I started reading "Lone Survivor". Rules of Engagement! Leave war to the warriors. If you want to dictate this then stand next to them in battle!

There is no "play fair" in war just like there is no "play fair" in a gunfight!

More importantly, this has now set a precident that our base in Cuba has to follow the constitution. Don't get me wrong, I stand 100% behind the constitution for US citizens. Those are our rights. Not the rights of people who will take every chance they can to kill mass amounts of US citizens.

The liberals need to go back to teaching art class while the rest of us figure out how the US needs to operate.
