Now we have liberal, conservative, and independent entities saying we tortured
Edited on Mon Mar-16-09 05:53 AM by Louis-Emmanuel
As reported in the Latest Breaking News board, a new leaked Red Cross report described as "torture" the treatment given to some detainees during the so called war on terror.

We also have Susan Crawford, the official who worked for both Bushes and Reagan, on record saying "We tortured Qahtani (Mohammed Qahtani).

Then we liberals were the first in denouncing this practice.

No wonder those tapes were erased.

No wonder the 87 photos and videos requested by the ACLU are being kept hidden by the Powers that be.

There need to be a serious investigation and subsequent prosecution in this regard.

1. "The war goes on, and we are winning"...
"All told, more than 3,000 suspected terrorists have been arrested in many countries.

And many others have met a different fate. Let's put it this way: They are no longer a problem to the United States and our friends and allies".

- George W. Bush
State of the Union Address 2003


I knew when he said it, that he was talking about torture.

3. The smirking psychopath couldn't resist the sick thrill of the mention, no matter the admission.

2. Of course we TORTURED people. Cheney is very proud of that fact.
He just doesn't like to use the TORTURE word.

It ain't the rape, mutilation, murder...it's the PHOTOS!!1!

It ain't the torture...it's the WORD!!1!
