Reuters– Let’s see Karen Hughes spin this one. It’s all on film, by the way:
Dateline said the two Taliban fighters burned on hills above the village of Gondaz north of Kandahar were killed by the U.S. soldiers the night before.
The footage showed flames licking two charred corpses, their legs and arms outstretched, and a group of five U.S. soldiers standing watching from a rocky ledge.
Footage showed two U.S. soldiers reading from a notebook two messages that they said had earlier been broadcast.
“Attention Taliban you are cowardly dogs,” read the first soldier, identified as psyops specialist Sgt. Jim Baker.
“You allowed your fighters to be laid down facing west and burned. You are too scared to retrieve their bodies. This just proves you are the lady boys we always believed you to be.”
The other unidentified soldier read a second message, part of which said: “You attack and run away like women. You call yourself Talibs but you are a disgrace to the Muslim religion, and you bring shame upon your family. Come and fight like men instead of the cowardly dogs you are.”
