1. That was/is my question as well - nt

[underpants]

2. There were only 3 people in the whole world that they needed to waterboard

:sarcasm:

at the link provided I think the best explanation is that the Abu Gharib photos brought too much attention to what they were actually doing AND the CIA started refusing to do it anymore. :shrug:

7. Murders!

At least eight detainees of the roughly 100 who have died in US military custody in Iraq and Afghanistan were tortured to death, human rights lawyers have said in a new report.

"These are detainees who were beaten, suffocated or otherwise died in circumstances that meet the definition of torture that is in the federal law that bans the practice," said Hina Shamsi, a lawyer for New York-based Human Rights First and author of the report.

17. It's actually Capital Murder. That carries the death penalty.

[Fovea]

3. Perhaps they finally got total snoop working

or working enough.

If you are cynical enough to use torture confessions, then you are cynical enough to sieve everyones' email for
a phrase that 'proves' your point.

Not hard to do when you have a splitter on the fiber and unlimited flops.
FNORD.

4. Why do these GOP pro-torture people

keep saying that their "EIT"s worked? Where is that proof? Why hasn't that line of bullshit been smacked down once and for all? The fact that were even having that debate about whether torture worked or not is totally beside the point. Torture is wrong and shouldn't be done at all.

5. I think Ron

May have been waterboarded one to many times.

[Revolution9]

6. he is so cross-eyed....

he prolly thinks he is a white and repected member of the GOP.

instead of their favorite uncle tom to trot out and defend them

[Politicalboi]

9. He's just a whore

He makes me sick.

[sparky7777]

8. Watch what you say!

"Obviously Mr. Wilkerson's come out with his 'rendition'"...Curious choice of words don't you think?

[bjobotts]

10. That repub worm doesn't care what the truth is, he is out to deny wrong doing by Bush-period

[bjobotts]

11. They ask him questions merely to laugh and stare in disbelief at his vile answers

[bjobotts]

12. Chainey was ready to torture anybody to get info to justify their illegal war

[bjobotts]

13. This reject from laser surgery will deny the horror and say it ws right no matter what.

[Joe Chi Minh]

14. Oh, it was for really valuable information up to 2005. After that, info on

potential threats to the United States wouldn't have been valuable. I see.... It all makes sense when that Republican strategist explains it. NONsense.

I can't think of a better reason for winding up the CIA. Cain't get no valuable info no more. Not even valuable false info under torture!!!!! Oh, me! Oh, my! Savonarola, thou shoulds't be living now. Well over the last five years.

[felinetta]

15. Shame on absolutey anyone who defends these war criminals!!!!!!

They all know the phony Bush Adm are murderers and they all go
along with it. How frightening.  By the way I guess every day
it becomes clearer and clearer why they stole two elections.

[Wizard777]

16. Maybe because they were thoroughly condemning Saddam Hussein's uses of torture.

Now Dick Cheney is defending and trying to justify the uses of torture.

[Wizard777]

18. This is also how the DOJ can prove that Bush/Cheney knew using torture was wrong and illegal.

Their own condemnations of Saddam Hussein's uses of torture.
