Evidence Grows of Drug Use on Detainees

[flashl]

There can be little doubt now that the government has used drugs on terrorist suspects that are designed to weaken their resistance to interrogation. All that’s missing is the syringes and videotapes.

Another window opened on the practice last week with the declassification of John Woo’s instantly infamous 2003 memo approving harsh interrogation techniques on terrorism suspects.

Woo advised top Bush administration officials that interrogators could employ mind-altering drugs if they did not produce “an extreme effect” calculated to “cause a profound disruption of the senses or personality.”

Woo had first rationalized the use of drugs in a 2002 memo for top Bush administration officials.

Then the fairy godmother steps in to help them sign their confessions on the dotted line, promising them a blissful release from all the horror.

I can't stand it when you bleeding heart pansies pretend that this (and everything else the neo-cons say) isn't purest Truth. :evilgrin:
