There may be an element of truth in what Cockburn claims - that some
ISIS/Daesh fighters are bribing their way out of prison. But it's totally
irrelevant.

Does anybody really believe that the government forces are stopping at
carrying out cold blooded murder of proven Daesh fighters? Really? In this
day and age when sectarianism and communalism are raging through every
single part of the world? Once something like this gets started, once it is
normalized, it takes on a life of its own. Does anybody believe that those
being summarily executed have been actually* proven* to be Daesh, one and
all? And it won't stop with just young, fighting age (Sunni) men. Older men
and teens will be given the same treatment. Women will be raped. Then will
come mass ethnic cleansing. In fact, it seems to be already happening.

This is all of what people like Cockburn are supporting.

What's so disgusting is that he and his type aren't really opposed to US
imperialism. After all, that government is an ally (in part) of US
imperialism, just as are the Kurds in Syria. No, the reality is that
they're pro Russian and Iranian imperialism. Nor are they even opposed to
atrocities; they're just opposed to atrocities carried out against the
imperialist forces they - the Cockburns of the world - support.

You couldn't have a better example of the degeneration of the left.
