Will Grigg?s Liberty Minute

January 19, 2010

In June 2006, the public was informed that three suspected terrorists held at Guantanamo Bay had simultaneously committed suicide. This was described as a form of ?asymmetrical warfare? intended to demoralize the American public and embolden our enemies.

Through diligent research into thousands of pages of heavily redacted documents, faculty and students at Seton Hall Law School discovered that the three supposed Jihadists ? none of whom had been charged with a crime ? had been tortured to death.

Rather than hanging themselves, they had been suffocated by having rags stuffed down their throats. The remains turned over to relatives had been savagely mutilated; the throats had been removed in order to conceal evidence.

This horrifying account is confirmed in the current issue of Harper?s magazine, which provides first-person testimony from Army Staff Sgt. Joseph Hickman, an eyewitness to these atrocities whose patriotic decency will not permit him to remain silent.

How can Christians countenance crimes of this kind, supposedly committed in our name?

Let us take back the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free.
