In his new book, Lt. General Michael Flynn, former head of the U.S. Defence Intelligence Agency, writes that the computers of Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL) jihadis seized by the U.S. were filled with pornography.

“We looked a ruthless enemy in the eye — women and children, girls and boys, raped and exploited, the beheadings stored on a laptop next to pornography,” writes Flynn in The Field of Fight: How We Can Win the Global War Against Radical Islam and Its Allies.

The book, which was released on Tuesday, is being serialized by the German newspaper Bild. “At one point,” writes Flynn, “we actually had determined that the material on the laptops was up to 80 per cent pornography.”

Flynn claimed that the pornographic material brutalized the psyche of the jihadists and enabled them to become desensitized enough to carry out the group’s atrocities.

He also said that closing down ISIS communications channels combined with assiduous intelligence gathering was the only way to defeat ISIS.

It was also revealed that assassinated Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden also had an extensive pornography collection, which was seized by U.S. Navy Seals who killed him during a raid on his compound four years ago.

Flynn is rumored to be one of those under consideration to be Donald J. Trump’s running mate on the 2016 Republican presidential ticket. He was sacked as the head of the Defense Intelligence Agency for his stand against radical Islam at a time when the Obama administration was purging its documents and training materials to reflect his policy of “countering violent extremism” without mentioning any connection to Islam.
