It is Wednesday and that is Free Jack Idema Day (really everyday is until we get him and his men home). This is press lie number 2 about Jack and the alleged torture of terrorists.
New York Magazine: “Early press reports indicated that three prisoners found in Idema’s custody during the raid were blindfolded and beaten and strapped to the ceiling by their feet; five others were tied to chairs with rope in a small, dark room down a hall that was littered with bloodied clothing.â€
Please, spare us the hyperbole. What Sullivan FAILS to mention is that those “Early press reports” were widely known to be false, and were known by her to be false BEFORE she printed that article. In other words, Sullivan couldn’t say that it was true, or fact, or proven at trial, or anything else, so she said “early press reports…” this way she could use knowingly false and horrible lies with impunity. No one ever said this at trial, the translation was wrong, and we have the trial tapes. As far as a hall “littered with bloody clothing” that is as an outrageous of lie as any ever made. Lets assume this is true; can someone please explain why no terrorist, no person, has ever shown a single laceration, cut, abrasion, or any other verifiable injury to any one. In fact, the only verifiable injuries have been to the men of TASK FORCE SABER 7 (check out the case section of the SuperPatriot website) Even in the first days, no press agency or journalist ever printed any of this with a name attached to the source. It was always “a source that refused to be named.” That’s press lingo for; it was made up, or at best, a rumor, in order to sell newspapers. Sickening when you think about it, criminal when you consider how it affected the lives and liberty of three innocent Americans and their families.
We will continue to blog about this and certainly every Wednesday until Jack and his men are home. Then we will ask for DEMAND accountability of all people involved in this travesty.
WE WILL NOT REST UNTIL THIS PATRIOT AND HIS MEN ARE SAFELY HOME!
