How they whined about torture and all sorts of horrible things done to them weather they won or lost. If ol' uday didn't think they pulled there weight they were beaten or much worse. Now the USA gives these clowns the freedom from torture and the freedom of speech and what do these ingrates do with it? Yep, throw us under a gas truck. typical
