wait, I found em.

blade + flesh.

He clearly thinks we could learn something from their "keep-it-simple-stupid" techniques. He probably also thinks that we have a "blade gap".

Not feeding the troll hasn't worked. Now it's time to try feeding it Ipecac.

We shouldn't advertise to the world our interrogation techniques. It's the same thing as the New York Times 'breaking' that US officials were surveying financial transactions of potential terrorists. Making this stuff public doesn't help our war on terror.

The many people released, from both Gitmo and US detention in Iraq, are probably more than capable of lining others out on our techniques. People abroad know what we do. The people at home are the ones we need to inform.

Pol Pot had people tortured.

The Nazis had people tortured.

Stalin had people tortured.

Bush has people tortured.

Does anybody see a pattern here?

Bush would much prefer that it be a surprise.

Besides, if Bush's future victims were forewarned, they might try to avoid becoming victims in the first place. For some people that just wouldn't be any fun at all.

By the way. Do they ask any actual questions during these 'interrogation' sessions?

"Torture has never been a reliable means of extracting information. It is ultimately self-defeating as a means of control. One wonders why it is still practiced."

Entertainment value, apparently.

Well, the more I read about it, the more it seems that torture has one intention: sadism. You can't catch Osama Bin Laden so instead you take it out on the sheepherder boy you picked up.

Apparently, you get answers and confessions from torture victims. Fortunately these are the answers you want. Unfortunately they're rarely true. You have no way of knowing the truth beforehand - otherwise you wouldn't be questioning them in the first place. The 'Ticking Time Bomb' interviewee will simply lie to you until the bomb goes off. and DUUU!! nobody thought of that in their mad rush for their whips, handcuffs and enema equipment.

This is how we got some of the phony WMD 'evidence'.

So all the Republican candidates are all sadists except for Grandpa McCain.
