It does look bad on the face of it.

I also wonder what consequences will flow to the Taliban/AlQuaeda/ISIS fighter who also kill their prisoners in cold blood?

Clearly, it is not right to kill prisoners in cold blood, but I also detect an element of hypocrisy when the other side is not held to the same standards.

The soft bigotry of low expectations strikes again. That's just their culture. It's not our place to criticize. I swear if the Aztecs were still around, throwing babies off the top of pyramids, the left would defend them against "racism".
