    CNN is now justifying this gruesome act? How shameful, how disgustingly shameful.

    Believe it or not, torturing a person is far worse, then some guy taking a bite out of already dead man's heart. The dead man isn't going to feel a thing, but when Bush and Cheney employed torturing people,those people did feel it. One of their victims was Waterboarded 185 Times, try getting water up your nose once and see how you like it. I don't think you will like it, then imagine having that water up your nose while choking on water for 30 minutes or so. If you've followed me so far your starting to get an idea what I'm talking about. They call this man's act barbaric, but this has been going on for thousands of year sover there, it's meant to demoralize the enemy and get them to quit fighting. Man is a strange creature, and war makes them do evil things, that said, he may have also been starving and the heart is the safest thing he could eat raw.
