Secret Torture Records

On September 30, 2009, the ACLU was in federal court seeking the release of redacted portions of Justice Department Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) memos describing "enhanced interrogation techniques" authorized for use by the CIA, as well as documents describing the contents of destroyed videotapes depicting CIA interrogations. Although the judge refused to release records describing interrogation techniques authorized for overseas use by the CIA, the ACLU believes that the American public has a right to know about the torture and abuse committed in its name.

Damn right. When governments gain new power to screw with people's lives, it NEVER ends with the "terrorist" or the "pervert" or the "drug trafficker." It always, always spreads. What could only be done to terrorists today is what can be done to terrorists and drug dealers tomorrow, and to terrorists, drug dealers, and protesters the next time.

Love your guys' work. I feel much safer in a country that doesn't use torture on ANYONE. History shows that countries that start to engage in torture on foreigners often turn to doing it to its own citizens.
