Re: this story from The Australian

Instead of a profanity laden post which I really feel like writing, I have found some appropriate pictures of Taliban type activity, contrasted with comments from the article. Apologies for the graphic nature of the pictures. It was either that or a post with FUCK YOU ARSEHOLES!!! copy and pasted 100 times.

“To be honest, I am appalled that Australian soldiers have been implicated with such disgusting treatment of human beings,” he said.
“No human bring should be in any way placed in a dog pen.”
--Australian Federation of Islamic Councils president Iqbal Patel
“For Australia to find itself keeping prisoners in dog kennels, dog pens, even overnight, is a big mistake,” he told reporters in Canberra. "
--Australian Greens leader Bob Brown
"The situation in Afghanistan was “very nasty” and the Taliban were ruthless and destructive, but they should not be kept in dog pens, he said."
--Australian Greens leader Bob Brown
