David Lindorff at The Smirking Chimp is Stupid

Just wanted to throw that in the title right up front.  The idiot writes a laughable article trying to compare child rape victims to grenade throwing teenage Taliban.  The title?  "America has a Double Standard When It Comes to Kids. Victims if Prostitutes, Terrorists if They Are Caught Fighting the US".

Then there’s the FBI’s latest sweeping busts of child prostitution rings, which rescued 21 juveniles from sex-selling rings. In announcing the arrests of some 300 people, FBI Director Robert Mueller said, "Our top priority in these cases has always been to identify children victims and move swiftly to remove them from these dangerous environments."

"These kids are victims," said Ernie Allen, president of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. "They lack the ability to walk away. This is the 21st-century slavery."

The question is, where are Mueller and Allen and these allegedly concerned politicians when it comes to children who are forced or lured into fighting against the US, whether in Afghanistan or Iraq? Where are they when those children are captured by US military forces and incarcerated with adult captives in hell-holes like Bagram Airbase in Afghanistan, Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq, or Guantanamo, where there was a special children’s section called Camp Iguana? I certainly haven’t heard a word from either Obama or that famous POW McCain in defense of America’s child war prisoners.

Let me and Webster’s try to help you out stupid (Lindorff).
