Shaming Depravity!!!! Are you PROUD, Amurkn?
"On Torture, 2 Messages and a High Political Cost" by SCOTT SHANE
WASHINGTON, Oct. 29 — The moral debate over torture has seeped deeply into popular culture, from the black comedy of “The Daily Show” and its “senior interrogation correspondent” to the new movie “Rendition,” based loosely on Mr. Arar’s case. Candidates for president have repeatedly faced questions and exchanged barbs on the proper limits of interrogation.
Yeah, it's like TV and the movies!!!
Known as "conditioning the public" so when it happens to you, it won't be surprising.
Both the Senate and House Intelligence Committees have held closed hearings on the program. The only public glimpse — unclassified testimony recently released from a Sept. 25 Senate hearing — was a series of fierce attacks by human rights advocates, legal experts and a veteran interrogator on the effectiveness and morality of harsh interrogation.
Most Republicans, for now, are offering the administration conditional support. Senator Christopher S. Bond of Missouri, the vice chairman of the Intelligence Committee, said that he was concerned about the international reputation of the United States and that Congress “should continue to look at what other methods are effective.”
But Mr. Bond said conversations with C.I.A. interrogators had convinced him that some legal but tough tactics could work on recalcitrant suspects. “Coercion has opened the dialogue,” he said."
Bond is obviously not concerned, otherwise he wouldn't support the BARBARIC and ILLEGAL policy!!!!
He even says it has WORKED!!!!
