They say children are kept there as well. children who haven’t seen a loved one in over 2 years. Just kept in a cell like an animal.
Oh dear -I appreciate it ,but I can’t bear it.
This is something I saw before- in Vietnam- my best buddy bragging aabout how they intimidated VC to make them ‘give it up’. Of course anyone under torture will tell you what you want to hear. DUHHHH
Speaking of Nam, this from CNN: “More journalists have been killed in Iraq since the war began in March 2003 than during the 20 years of conflict in Vietnam, media rights group Reporters Without Borders (RSF) said on Sunday.”
Wow.
