The Smoking Gun has the story and a lot of badly illustrated cruelty:

In a recent raid on an al-Qaeda safe house in Iraq, U.S. military officials recovered an assortment of crude drawings depicting torture methods like “blowtorch to the skin” and “eye removal.” Along with the images, which you’ll find on the following pages, soldiers seized various torture implements, like meat cleavers, whips, and wire cutters.

And we catch hell for keeping a Gitmo prisoner’s night light on or playing Jefferson Starship’s “We Built This City” a few dozen times? Blasting Starship into a terrorist’s prison cell may be cruel but we can’t touch Al-Qaeda in the torture department. I know, I know, Starship is pretty rough but it isn’t as bad as having your flesh roasted with a blow torch is it? Alright, so that’s a bad example. At least we only use Starship on the really nasty ones.

Jihad Watch
This makes the allegations of torture at Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo look like the politically motivated propaganda that they are.

The Belmont Club
My fearless prediction is that not a single human rights organization will seriously take the matter up. There will be no demonstrations against these barbaric practices, often inflicted upon Muslims by other Muslims, in any of the capitals of the world. Not a single committee in the United Nations will be convened nor will any functionary in the European Union lose so much as a night’s sleep over it. The word for these activities — whatever we choose to call it — will not be spoken.

The Jawa Report
Someone page the following sub-morons: Rosie O’Donnell, Dick Durbin, Jack Murtha, Nancy Pelosi, The Leftwing Nutosphere, Amnesty International, the Democrat Party, etc.

The Populist
How do we know, that this wasn’t drawn by the Government hired company, and put together with these photo’s of Iraqi’s who were tortured and then released intentionally leaked to the media? Again to further the “Cause” (whatever that is anymore)

The Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler
Just remember that when we as much as look at one of those subhuman scum funny, the wailing about Nazis, Gulag Commandants and assorted other inanities rise to a fever pitch in our own media.

Gateway Pundit
I didn’t think I’d write much about this torture story today since I figured the Left would be all over it, considering how much they detest torture and have such a clear understanding of human rights violations.

Iowa Voice
Makes waterboarding look like a f##king picnic, doesn’t it? This is what people in the Middle East think when they hear the word “torture”. When they read in the media and hear the left in this country say that we’re torturing, THIS is what they think we’re doing, and we’ve done nothing even close to this.

Right Pundits
I posted this because I am just sick of hearing about how OUR government tortures detainees at places like Guantanamo Bay, and the various other detention facilities we have set up around the world. It’s true that the enemy combatants that we have locked away don’t have some of life’s basic necessities like DVD players or scented deodorants and shampoos, but I am nearly 100 percent positive that they wont have their sorry hides melted off of their skeletons with a blowtorch either.

Hyscience
My guess is that al-Qaeda victims would be ecstatic to be handed over to U.S. custody.
