The next day, the anti-communist task force said it felt “betrayed” and “hoodwinked”.

That’s ironic projection after literally blindfolding these women.

The United States is a key defence partner of the Philippines and recently concluded two weeks of joint military drills with the country’s armed forces.

Not surprising. I wonder if Philippines gets School of the Americas style education too, would explain where they learned to kidnap young women activists and force them to lie under threat of death as an anti-Communist tactic.

These women are badass though.

Clearly part of any debriefing process they record the entire process. They just have to release their video recordings including the pair coming into surrender themselves from the security cameras. And 24/7 video tape of the interview rooms. To show that there was no coercion that these two lied. Clearly that’s not going to be a problem.

They’re not going to charge them with perjury, and put them in jail for 10 years to set a message to other people they’re trying to coerce. That would be illegal

All this torture and coercion just for a couple environmental activists. Imagine what they do to more direct threats against their leadership. Disgusting behavior.
