ISIS suspects in overcrowded Syrian prison tell CBS News they're Americans

Northern Syria — A U.S.-backed Syrian militia running a prison packed with thousands of alleged ISIS fighters is struggling to keep control of the detainees. The prisoners want to return to their home countries, and their jailers warn that if something isn't done to relieve the burden, the accused terrorists could end up back in the fight.

The militia let CBS News correspondent Holly Williams and her team inside the high security prison in northeast Syria — the first time a television camera has been allowed in. They wouldn't even permit video showing the outside of the facility, given the tense security situation in the region.

President Trump has called on European countries to bring home their nationals who joined ISIS in Syria, so it was a surprise for Williams to find prisoners who said they were American.

She may be wearing that head covering because she is talking to ISIS prisoners but I doubt she'd feel obliged to because she's in an SDF run prison.  Anyway, it doesn't really matter, just adding in.

Be all right with me if the guards were warned there was a misguided missile fleet headed their way.

Let the "Epsteins" begin. Mass suicides have happened before.

Right. Join a foreign military, you just gave up your citizenship.

It took Congressional exceptions for the members of the Lafayette Escadrille and Eagle Squadrons, and they were fighting for our allies.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

@Fishrrman

I disagree. Bring them back here and put them on trial for treason. Hang any of them found guilty.
