It just keeps getting better all the time

Following up on the post quoting Josh Marshall, here's the story on those inspired patriotic Americans hanging captives by their heels in Afghanistan in a home they made into a makeshift "prison":

[Jonathan] Idema and his colleagues told Afghan authorities they were operating the prison because they wanted "to take part in the war on terror," the Afghan official said.

The Americans did not torture their prisoners, but did administer "some beatings," the official added.

...The Americans were mainly detaining men with long beards on the outskirts of Kabul who they suspected -- based on their appearance -- to be members of al Qaeda, the interior ministry official said.

Why oh why do they hate us?

The American patriots will not be turned over to the Afghanis, as you might assume would only be right.

Here's some more on Idema's rich past from DailyKos, and from Jesus' General.
