America's Tortured Past

31-08-2009 21:44

31-08-2009 20:29

The Israel Defense Forces officer accused of ordering a soldier under his command to shoot a bound and blindfolded Palestinian detainee failed his second polygraph test on Monday, after having passed the first test in a private institute last week.
