12. Happy Friday, all!
Popping in for a few. Been clearing out the utility room and taking out the old washer and dryer as our new (used) ones are coming tonight, thanks to my bro and his girlfriend.

They belonged to my mom, and my brother has been storing them for us for over a year. Time to bring them up!

Edited on Fri Apr-24-09 07:23 PM by Patsy Stone
The Administration, like with the OSP, once again used a group of thugs with no moral compass (Yoo, I'm looking at you) to legalize torture. They wanted to do this before they had a reason; just "in case"?? Once this lawyer guy said it was torture, and it was illegal, they basically told him, "leave that to us."

28. I'll agree 183 times is probably a bit more than needed.
Some of that had to be for sport. :mad:

But, the idea was to force a confession about a link between al-Qaeda and Saddam, so the whole thing was on false pretenses to begin with.

They really are the Evil Empire.

I'm going home to Fort Atkinson, if I can find a place to live.

I think a better answer to your question is "to hell in a handbasket." :P

58. How'd ya guess???
You got it. Sorry to miss you all, but I was having drinks and dinner with a nice woman I befriended recently and chatting it up with Hunky Bartender. Heavenly food and you can't beat the view. Yeah, he's young, but he could still call Katy Tur his kid sister, so no guilt here, my friends!

The weekend weather is supposed to be utterly summerlike, and I asked for Monday off too, so I plan to enjoy myself. Picking up my new bike from the shop down the street today and planning to ride like crazy.

Got back upstairs last night in time to watch 10 O'Clock Keith, although I had also taped. Good for him for keeping the pressure and heat on. These guys are gonna be sorry they ever thought they could get away with this garbage.

Torture helped foil a planned 2002 attack on Los Angeles? The guy they tortured was captured in 2003

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/columnists/chi-oped0...

Waking up to torture truths

Steve Chapman
April 23, 2009

When the Russian dissident Alexander Solzhenitsyn wrote his epic, "The Gulag Archipelago," some Americans read it to measure the gulf between the brute savagery of communism and the principled standards of free, civilized nations. But apparently some Americans took it as a helpful how-to volume.

Where would CIA officers have gotten the idea to extract cooperation from detainees by keeping them awake for as long as 180 hours at a time, or more than a week? Maybe from the jailers in Solzhenitsyn's grim account, who used the method on a mass scale.

Enforced sleeplessness, he explained, was favored because it was cheap, easy and left no marks on the prisoner -- not to mention that it was effective. Solzhenitsyn attested from bitter experience that "it is not really necessary to use a rack or hot coals to drive a human being out of his mind." snip

The Bush administration claimed that the waterboarding of Khalid Shaikh Mohammed helped foil a planned 2002 attack on Los Angeles -- forgetting that he wasn't captured until 2003. Maybe we'll get a better answer if the administration grants Cheney his request that it declassify material supporting his case, as it should.
