Confession That Formed Base of Iraq War was Acquired Under Torture...

[bridgit]

'An Al-Qaeda terror suspect captured by the United States, who gave evidence of links between Iraq and the terror network, confessed after being tortured, a journalist told the BBC.

Iban al Shakh al Libby told intelligence agents that he was close to Al-Qaeda leaders Osama bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri and "understood an awful lot about the inner workings of Al-Qaeda," former FBI agent Jack Clonan told the broadcaster.

Libby was tortured in an Egyptian prison, according to Stephen Grey, the author of the newly-released book "Ghost Plane" who investigated the secret US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) prisons that housed terror suspects around the world.

US President George W. Bush confirmed the existence of the network of CIA holding facilities overseas during a September 6 speech defending controversial US interrogation practices.

Libby was apparently taken to Cairo, Clonan told the broadcaster, after being captured in Afghanistan in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 attacks in the United States.

"He (Libby) claims he was tortured in jail and that would be routine in Egyptian prisons," Grey said.' http://www.commondreams.org/headlines06/1027-04.htm

1. tortured to tell them what they wanted to hear so they could in turn use it

as evidence for what they were going to do.

evil.

[bridgit]

2. i don't understand why they torture anyone at all, why not just lie into...

the camera like they do every other day of the week

[bullimiami]

3. because they can.

[bridgit]

4. if that is the 'read', then they do it because they desire to imo...

[bullimiami]

13. exactly. they have the power to torture and the belief they can get away

with anything.

they like torturing, it feeds their power lust.

8. groovy...

:rofl:

9. they tortured everyone

The global basis was torture;
abuse and theft of life enslaved;
lost to whatever jesus pure,
fallen unwitted to satanized slave,
engobbed to TV dissonant
repetition of violent militarist disorder,
thuggishly abusing generation after generation,
torturing an entire population in to a prison where
it is abused and stripped of its dignity one
prisoner at a time.

The confession at the base of the iraq war;
torture, makes sense. :-)

10. thank you as always, sweetheart, for your thought-words...

11. woof

Its good to see you alive and dancing.
:hug:

Torture, and abuse, have been covered up, a
collusion to cover it up, just put a sock in it
and get an extra job, people swallow a lot of suffering
for the big war machine. The insanity of the
truth and the cyncism of the betrayal, paved
by the rational apperance of continuity,
turning on the wheel of life,
torturing karl marx to take back his critique,
to take it all back and make THEM the gods
of kapital.
torturning bob dylan to make him take it back,
to praise the viet nam experiment as a success
of poetic return.
.. torturing every single person to betray, in one
way or another the sanity of conscience.

12. imo the entirety of an ill, metastasized notion need be repudiated...

what did the wannabe tyrant-boy king-Caesar mention,
he knows; the Iraq war is "straining the psyche of our country"
but leaving now would be a disaster; he knows that...
how does he know that when by faithless fact he never cared
were the first to be so tortured by 'strain of psyche'
they that have seen him coming all along
and the second group they that have voted for him
how does he know much less care it is a disaster already
he knew all along that he did not care i say and so i say further
oh to have been raised in ignorance itself to ignore whole segments
of a common lexicon common to they all around you; simply because
your station in life left you careless then in the clutch
of a mother merely thinking her mind to be so 'beautiful'
twisted skews of money & myopia rend now as american monarchy
small 'a' very small 'm'

what keeps them there is our as-such springer-cam http://www.poppolitics.com/articles/2001-04-16-springer.shtml">Oooh La-la!!
a not so neo after all as it turns out american body politic
of fear & frighted racist white bread & mayonnaise
see...how duplicitous the view where even the cows far, far below they have no vote that matters

their downfall is in my further opinion this:
we are not cattle, or chattel, or cows and...and,
they are finally being seen more & more even exponentially
for what they are more truly: usurpers,
disruptor's to these:
our most loftier 'we the people' poetries of:
America The Beautiful!

squander our Freedoms & Liberties! for peak oil?
and a sin said to be so deadly even fools avoid it?
Humbuggery, sir!

direct me then to the button, the rope, the lever, the gadget, the gizmo, the potion, the platform, the antedote & i will end it now myself
