I was just at the Fox News website. One of the story teasers (second story, directly below Falwell's death) read: | Hard Time at Gitmo Detainee cries 'torture,' says he was forced to use unscented deodorant and read newsletter full of 'crap' | |
If one clicks the link and reads the article, it does mention that the source for the story, a transcript of Majid Khan's military hearing, was "redacted" (in other words, parts that would not be in the best interest of the United States military were deleted). Buried deep into the article we also find this: | Ali Shoukat Khan said his son [Majid Khan] was kidnapped in Pakistan and that there, Americans tortured his son "for eight hours at a time, tying him tightly in stressful positions in a small chair until his hands, feet and mind went numb. ... He was often hooded and had difficulty breathing. They also beat him repeatedly, slapping him in the face, and deprived him of sleep." | |
"Fair and balancedâ„¢" is a joke. And a bad one, at that. |

I slept over at purpleglitter's apartment last night. She really needs a dreamcatcher. Her apartment has bad dreams. I dreamt purpleglitter, riga_mortia, and I were stuck in a psych ward together. The really bad thing about the psych ward was that it was run by Jerry Falwell. Our rooms were covered in bibles and Christian propaganda. The walls and ceilings were emblazoned with the CBN logo (Yes, I know CBN is Pat Robertson. It was dream okay?). riga_mortia was caught smoking marijuana on the unit, and was sent to the Biblical Isolation Chamber. I don't even want to know what they did to her in there. |
