The barbarous custom of having men beaten who are suspected of having important secrets to reveal must be abolished. It has always been recognized that this way of interrogating men, by putting them to torture, produces nothing worthwhile."

Napoleon to Berthier 11 Nov 1798, Corres., V, no. 3606 p. 128 quoted in - Napoleon on the Art of War
Scarborough is just so dry and dumb...the words he uses "bad americans", "evil"...what's wrong with this guy!? how about incompetent and lazy for a change, because they got their job in the CIA on someone's recommendation...
I would like to try this "water-boarding". It doesn't look like much though. They just put a plastic bag on your face and pour water from a jug on it. You put your face under a shower nosle and it's a pleasant experience.
it's not a plastic bag, they use a cloth cowl to cover your entire head, then they put a another towl over your mouth, when it soaks up the water it slowly begins to smother and drown you.
There's an interview of Hitchens by Matthews several year ago where Hitchens mentions the word "nigger", in the context of how slurs are adopted by the target group, e.g. "tory", "queer". They had him removed immediately.
There's no doubt that some people are into it for more than money and medals, the CIA pays shit and you can't tell anyone what you're doing. It's the type of organization you join if you want to be sent to Peru to shoot down suspected drug runner planes and accidentally kill innocent people. Criminal negligence in its purest form.
Sometimes Christopher Hitchens has such a bad case of the stutters. In his memoir he said he lost it, but sometimes it comes back.

The real problem he points out, will probably be the same problem with North Korea. Kim Jong Il certainly doesn't think like ANYONE from the CIA!!!

I don't understand why Hitchens dreads that the next terror attack be performed by someone released from Guantanamo at 6:50
and that makes me feel so stupid =P
On the other hand I am not a US citizen!

Another classic by Hitchens. He always sounds new and fresh.
