The reason they don't "torture" is that "torture" is illegal. Since they ARE the law, EVERYTHING is legal. So they can crush a man's nuts and drown him, and it is not torture because everything is good.

lol

Does this bastard thinks that someone in the world believe him?

[gim10003]

Its not obvious what constitutes torture and what's just tough interrogation. Different people will draw the line differently. But you can't have a meaninful discussion about torture without dicussing the techniques used, can you? Sidenote: waterboarding is mild compared to the "techniques" used in the Middle East. That's part of the reason it doesn't work very well against Al-qaida operatvies who are trained to withstand much worse.

"I don't talk about techniques and we do not torture people." lol sounds like an oxymoron to me.

What people don't realize is that the CIA has been stopping disasters since the late 60's. They have prevented wars between America and other countries that people don't even know about. I don't care if they tortured people because quite frankly they would be doing there job by protecting something way bigger... America. Killing and torturing a few men is a small sacrifice compared to millions of innocent Americans dieing. Think of the bigger picture...

holy shit this guy is straight up evil. I'm glad I'm voting for Ron Paul, the least I could do is get this guy out of his job.

Use of power drills, cutting out of eyes, peeling off of skin, electric shocks, breaking fingers, extraction of fingernails, castration, breaking and dislocation of bones.

The London newspaper further noted “graphic nature of images may explain the US President Obama’s attempts to block the release of an estimated 2,000 photographs from prisons in Iraq and Afghanistan despite an earlier promise to allow them to be published.”

Maj. Gen. Taguba, who retired in January 2007, said he supported the President’s decision, adding: “These pictures show torture, abuse, rape and every indecency.

AND YOUR TAX DOLLARS PAID FOR ALL OF IT.

This was done thru TENET'S ORDERS!

[letstalkaboutstuff]

This is EXACTLY what TENET INSTRUCTED HIS PEOPLE TO DO:

... an American soldier apparently raping a female prisoner while another shows a male translator raping a male detainee...photographs depict sexual assaults on prisoners with objects including a truncheon, wire and a phosphorescent tube... a team of CIA, Military Intelligence officers and private consultants under the employ of the US govt.... "Their main and specific mission was to give the interrogators new techniques..."

This man has "sexual deviant" written all over his face. Do a search for CIA protected pedophile program. Your tax dollars fund it. Everyone knows the CIA kills and bombs people then blames it on some flavor of the month terrorist group THEIR media worked ahead of time to build up or frames some whistle blower. Everyone knows the CIA are and have been OUT OF CONTROL and that they are SAVAGES above the law. They are above the law and are THE problem. They are sociopaths. They prevent WORLD PEACE
