Terrorists Recruiting Techniques (Graphic)

Here's a graphic but true description how the terrorists train their recruits:

...a 14-year-old Iraqi boy who had been kidnapped from his family and pressganged into service by a cell of Islamic insurgents operating in one of the city's Sunni neighbourhoods.

During questioning by the Americans after his capture, the boy told how he had been sodomised and abused by the insurgents, before being given the job of holding down the legs of victims they beheaded. Throughout the traumatic period of his detention by some of the most barbaric fighters in Iraq, the only reassurance the boy was ever given was that of promotion; that he himself would one day become an executioner and beheader.

Thank God for real soldiers like our hero Col HR McMaster:

Described by one high-ranking British military official in Baghdad as a "warrior poet" and nicknamed "The Beast" by some of his men, McMaster has developed something of a reputation and is tipped by many as a future high-flier in the US military.

An expert on counter-insurgency and author of a book on the Vietnam war, McMaster says that one of the most important things his officers can do is to listen to the local people.
