Now
that Obama and the NYT have appointed a SP to look into "narrow issues"
regarding torture by rogue interogators it is time to bait and switch
with the argument that the CIA guys were innocent dupes just following
orders and the real war criminals were in the White House and a
politized Bush DoJ.
The
prisoners, at least the HVD's anyway were debased and humiliated, made
extremely uncomfortable, basically everything short of causing physical
harm. Focusing on the "excessive" cases is the point of the report, as
far as I can tell.
Now, the question is - was this more or less
of a violation of their rights then lobbing Hellfire missiles at them
while they're sleeping in Pakistan?
Hot Air had a great quote, I need to share, but am too lazy to
create a link:
A
few weeks ago, Eric Holder saw nothing wrong with Black Panthers using
billy clubs to intimidate voters. Today, he thinks intimidating
terrorists with cigars is a crime. Holder is the one who should be
answering tough questions under oath.
Smoke was then blown in their faces and they were called names.
Fun
was made of their hairstyles and it was not uncommon that derogatory
remarks would be made about the length and heft of their peni.
And their mothers. Oh how their mothers were made to be the butt of the
mother of all jokes.
Woe. Woe!
Then,
if the subject did not express the appropriate amount of participation,
it was common practice for their names to be misspelled. And shown to
them.
Intentionally.
Grape jello would be withheld from the strongest of the mujihadeen
until at last, they participated.

Monsters, I say.
Monsters.
We must investigate these monsters.
