if its being done to civilians the wtf if its been done to those mofo terrorists treat them with more brutality throw them in boiling water throw them in cells with rats so they can be eaten by them
btw its always hard to see any form of torture whether innocent or culprits because thats what distinguishes good from the bad. having said that people who have been repeatedly worked for the terrorists providing them intel about army movements, giving them refuge and even participating in public execution dont have my sympathy if they are caught and beaten up by the soldiers. I don’t like torture for the sake of torture or to instil fear in the public. This is clearly being carried out in the compounds of an army’s HQ in contrast to the ones staged by Taliban in front of the spectators where the civilians and captured soldiers were beheaded or shot in the head at point blank range and then their bodies mutilated and hung by the polls. Going by that standard, the beating up is very light.
Yes we might never know who these people were, where they completely innocent? Local informants of Taliban or actually combatants captured after the fight and now being beaten up for information.
What I am concerned about is
How did that video find its way to the web?
What it officially recorded or undercover?
Were those soldiers beating these guys up on specific instructions from the commanders or not?
The way the camera is moving it doesn’t suggest that there was an undercover whistle blower but it does show the army in the bad way because the whole premise of the operation against the fanatic Taliban is that the terrorists are inhumane beasts and lack any respect for human rights and if the soldiers start following the same footsteps then that moral argument is lost.
