Human Rights Investigator, Attorney John Sifton: Torture Investigation Should Focus on Estimated 100 Prisoner Deaths

We get reaction to the Senate hearing on torture from private investigator and attorney John Sifton, executive director of One World Research, which carries out research for law firms and human rights groups. Sifton has conducted extensive investigations into the CIA interrogation and detention program. He says any investigation of Bush administration torture and rendition should include an estimated 100 homicides of prisoners in US custody. [includes rush transcript]

@DustyMay1944 Again, using ad hominem rhetoric like "limousine liberal" (please define that term) shows you have no argument. Your entire thought process is framed for you by Fox News. Think for yourself. We are all human beings.

Blind nationalism and hatred are quite prominent in the right wing. *Thinking* is not. There is nothing rational about your comments. All you have is reactionary, hate-filled bile. You have NO ARGUMENT.

@DustyMay1944 Stop watching Glenn Beck. He is using you and making you quite the fool.

@DustyMay1944 When you use the word "commie", which is first and foremost an ECONOMIC ideology, to describe AMERICAN liberals, it shows that you are not thinking. It shows that you are susceptible to right-wing propaganda and not interested in truth or facts. Come on man, get over McCarthyism already! Stop watching charlatans like Glenn Beck!

Just because the people we call "terrorists" decapitate and kill does not mean that our country should sink to their level. If we do, we are no better.

NO he's seen the evidence & he wants it to be released so that everyone else can see it too.. the one's that DIED show that its all a load of BS calling it 'enhanced' interrogation! Its TORTURE plain & simple! Especially if they DIE from it!

Executed on the battlefield?? You clearly ARE Bloody fool! You're talking JUST LIKE the Nazis used to talk about Jews before WWII.. now there's a surprise!

Have you put a shine on your jackboots lately??

Or don't Trolls wear boots??

[DustyMay1944]

NO he does not have evidence! Did he present some?

You're right; they should not have been taken prisoner; they should have been executed on the battlefield.

THEY HAVE SOULS? These people who fly plains into tall buildings just to kill masses? These people who execute women for infidelity? These people that decapitate reporters?

You commie tourist limousine liberals make ME puke big-time. If you and THEY have a soul, I know who owns it and it ain't your fucking god! Maybe the other one!

[ejbh3160]

so are you saying this guy is from Putin productions too?

Are you denying that 100 people died (coz I'm sure he's got evidence)

Are you saying it ISNT torture maybe?? Even when someone DIES from it? Enhanced DEATH techniques maybe!?

You pro-torture sickos make me want to puke!!

Blame anyone else in the world & call anyone who disagrees with you a commie or 'tourist' (or limo liberal) but the facts are the facts.

Clearly THEY still have a soul.. who did you sell yours to?

[DustyMay1944]

Wrong! We are becoming the Stalinist Russians before WW2.

Yah you're right, we're the big bad Americans that are fucking up the whole world. Maybe we should just chop their heads off or just gas a couple hundred thousand of them; then we can look like better people to the rest of the world.

Anti-American rhetoric is quite fissionable for you fucking limousine liberals, isn't it?

[LLCoolPass]

it makes me sick

We are now doing what the US once help prosecute the Germans for after WW11.
