2. Tortured and killed by whom?
Insurgents or......the other alternative would probably get this post locked. I'll just let you guys finish the sentence.

I thought this type of activity had stopped since we were welcomed as liberators, oh so long ago! Mission accomplished, and all that! :shrug: Does this mean we were lied to, again?
