People.

There is no debate about "usefulness" Torture has never
and was never intended to generate useful intelligence.

It did not come about in a "Fear Response" to 9/11; it was and is a calculated measure
to stifle dissent just as all the "Security LEAK" prosecutions are.

We can't be distracted by discussions about "terror attacks averted" there were none.

The only thing that will keep President Shit-for-brains-future-Pres from torturing is
if we investigate indict and prosecute everyone who ordered facilitated or carried out TORTURE.

I say start at the TOP GWB Cheney Rummy Rice Gonzo et al.

If they are so sure of their innocence let's buy them all a ticket to the word court.

Would bet that at least one heartless one of them has tapes if the acts for his own twisted pleasure.

in letting it happens only want to talk about that, they avoid talking about the actual physical evil, because it is their only plausible defence to evil....that the evil prevented even greater evil.

What is in Room 101 is the worst thing in the world. In your case, Khalid, that happens to be water.
