While Democrats and some in the Republican Party would rather bury their heads in the sand and slink away from the War on Terrorism in defeat, there are increasing news reports of torture rooms being found and destroyed by military forces.
The latest comes from UPI in Afghanistan:
British Coldstream Guards were alerted to the chamber with intelligence from Afghan National Army. Officials say troops also found "two Afghan police uniforms -- one of which had the crotch ripped out -- plus the butt of a Kalashnikov assault rifle and wires carrying full electric power," the release said.
"We heard the Afghan National Army had been badly spooked by something," Lance Cpl. Steve Walker said in a statement. "They had found a torture chamber and we went down a set of steps to the 8ft by 4ft room.
"Chains were hanging from the ceiling; broken glass was on the floor and bamboo sticks which we presume were for beatings. There was definitely dried blood on the floor. I knew that sort of stuff probably goes on but you don't expect to come across it."
Officials say troops have destroyed the torture facility with explosives.
U.S. forces will have to remain in Iraq and Afghanistan until local forces are fully capable of dealing with this kind of barbarism.
And as long as the Ostrich Party (made up mostly of members of the Democrat Party, with some from the Republican Party) continues to lend aid, comfort and hope to the terrorists with their wailing and moaning, the day U.S. forces can leave will remain elusive.

Well, at least there was no evidence of "water boarding!"
Yes, Theo, such barbarity would have REALLY got them in trouble!
Well, if they were Americans it would have, anyway.
