Torture, Al-Qaeda Style

Somehow a bunch of radical Muslim fundamentalists got the idea that torture was an acceptable means of interogation.
In a recent raid on an al-Qaeda safe house in Iraq, U.S. military officials recovered an assortment of crude drawings depicting torture methods like 'blowtorch to the skin' and 'eye removal.' ... The images, which were just declassified by the Department of Defense, also include a picture of a ramshackle Baghdad safe house described as an 'al-Qaeda torture chamber.'
The DoD is now wondering who smuggled their book out of Gitmo.

I am left wondering about the authenticity of this material. Al-Qaeda is made up of fundamentalist Muslims yet the drawings depict guys with mustaches torturing men with beards. Am I the only one who sees something wrong with that?

Jake, those look like some of your sketches from high school.

While the theme is familiar, I could never draw that well.

I don't see anything wrong, not at all, no muslims wear beards, this is not propaganda. What are you talking about?
