Oh, here's a link to National Review that says it does work. They know more than the people doing the torture. Why are you insulting the CIA? Don't you love America? I guess you don't. You like seeing our soldiers dragged burning through the streets. That's a shame. I guess I just love America more than you."*** For some reason this reads in my head like Glen Beck's voice.

ALL the documentation needs to come out and it needs to be reviewed in a relevant court. If it is determined to be torture, the laws were broken and people need to be held accountable for that. If not, and we dont like it, we need to push to have those things included in the laws that govern these situations. Doug and I are never going to agree on what is considered "ok" in these terms. But that's ok too. I don't much like his opinion, but that doesn't mean he's not entitled to it. He thinks I'm a wuss or unamerican or whatever for not agreeing that it is ok to do these things to people in US custody. . I'm ok with that. I know I'm not.
