Renditions, torture

The CIA's been torturing people for a long time. I find it hard to believe that all of the operatives are too squeamish to watch. More likely it's some legalistic kind of thing, like "plausible deniability."

I don't want Bush, Cheney, et al., kidnapped and tortured. I want them tried, convicted, and imprisoned for so many decades of boredom that they kill themselves in the end, like Rudolf Hess did.
