1. The innocent will give false information to save themselves.

That will be a disaster if they have two many of them. Gitmo is already a big enough disaster.

2. we're going to make the guy who provided the legalese head of JUSTICE

for CHRIST's SAKE :puke:

i hope our 'leaders' will soon start to PROTEST this BS before they all wind up being frog-marched out their offices :argh:

4. Welcome to DU, ilife!

Yep, the guy that declared The Geneva Conventions "quaint" may be our next AG-plus he's a Dominionist Rapture theorist:puke::argh:

3. Once again its the British media

Is there no US interest in this story? Fine and dandy about NPR reporting dogs used by NJ prisons, but what about torture in military prisons? What kind of information do they expect to get out of people after two years of interrogation?

7. These are "bad" people

so are easy to ignore by "good" Americans. Like the Iraqis being napalmed in Fallujah.

9. Step 1) Pick someone off the street at random...

Step 2) Torture him expertly, until he admits to hating america and plotting unspeakably evil plots.
Step 3) Repeat step 1

In short order, you have a torture prison filled with the "worst of the worst".

5. No ethics at all here. None. They are medically cleared for torture.
