That whole post in actual context;

It's a difficult thing to bring up of course - being kidnapped and held hostage in any regard is obviously an extremely traumatic event during which one would fear for their lives daily - I'm not downplaying what these people have experienced. Just pointing out that it doesn't QUITE appear to match up with the conditions that people have been insisting they will have been kept in, and the abuse people have been insisting they will have been subject to, by their "animal" captors.

I was referencing the insistence of certain members that the kidnapped children would have been raped, subjected to unimaginable torture, and probably murdered by their captors. Which turned out not to be the case. I was calling out the double standards and propaganda then, just as now.
