TAJI, Iraq (Courtesy of CJSOTF-AP PAO, Aug. 17, 2007) – After returning from a family member’s funeral, four women and six small children were kidnapped by armed men wearing ski masks on a Baghdad street on May 1. The women and children were taken after having to witness the execution of their male family members.

They were held for more than a month’s time, during which the women endured daily rapings and beatings and were constantly threatened with beheading, one of the women later said in a statement given to U.S. Special Forces

Even animals don't do this. These bastards are worse than the lowest animal. You will never see this on the 5 o'clock news because it doesn't fit the medua agenda.
