On Thursday night, Donald Trump was busy at a rally defending waterboarding — but the parents of U.S. Army Captain Humayun S. M. Khan were busy in Philadelphia sharing a different kind of message.
Khan (http://www.vocativ.com/259159/the-father-of-a-muslim-war-hero-has-this-to-say-to-donald-trump/) was a U.S. Army captain and a Muslim who was killed in 2004 when a suicide bomber attacked his infantry unit. On the stage of the Democratic National Convention tonight, Khan's parents gave a speech that simultaneously ho**red their son's legacy and delivered a stinging rebuke to Donald Trump.
