[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why did conservatives only become outraged about the practice of bacha bazi after a Green Beret was discharged for assaulting an Afghan?  It's not like this has been a well-hidden secret.  There was a Frontline documentary broadcast on PBS back in 2010

and a WaPo article in 2012.

Where was the GOP on all this?  Aren't criminal human rights violations at least deserving of a Congressional investigation and hearing?  [/quote]

Here's the problem. You think we are just outraged at the practice of child rape - and newly so. What we are outraged at is the idea that a soldier would do the right thing and try and defend the child and the mother and be punished for it.[/quote]

You are still demonstrating mastery of the obvious but a complete lack of understanding of the bigger picture.

Look, there's nobody here who disagrees that child rape is disgusting and abhorrent.  Not one single poster.

BUT again, you still haven't addressed the question of why suddenly now.  Unless you can show for all of us articles from Breitbart or some other conservative rag complaining about it from 2007 or prior (and again it was known, it was no secret, going back to the Reagan era) then YES it is newly so.  The FACT is, the GOP wasn't anywhere on this.

There's also nobody here who disagrees that the soldier had good intentions.

BUT as for "the right thing" there are a lot of "right things" that the guy could have done.  Engaging in brutal, lawless vigilante justice was not one of the right things to do.   Two wrongs do not make a right.  Answering violence with more violence is not the answer.[/quote]
