Thanks to the ACLU, the whole world now knows what “torture” means in the United States. Here’s a partial list:

Sleep deprivation
“insult slaps”
water dousing
“walling” (slamming a detainee’s head against a wall)

Apparently, American-style torture consists of attending a frat party.

You cons keep comparing the left to Hitler, but yet it is you, time and again, who minimize the evil of torture.

It gives MSM credibility to what we've been learning from the newly declassified reports over the last few days — the enhanced interrogation program worked. This demolishes a key argument of the opponents of the program, who have long insisted coercive interrogations can never work and must necessarily backfire. I always thought it was foolish of them to invest so much in this argument since it was so implausible. It showed a key insecurity behind their moral absolutism. The opponents knew that if they admitted that the toughest of these techniques were applied only to a few top operatives who coughed up intelligence that led to the arrest of other terrorists and the discovery of other plots, they could never get much traction with the public. So they had to insist the interrogations didn't work.</blockquote><div style="border-bottom: solid 1px #dcdcdc; white-space: nowrap; margin-bottom: 8px; background-color: #eeeeee ;background-image: url(http://clipmarks.com/images/source-bg.gif); background-repeat: repeat-x; height: 24px; line-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle; padding-bottom: 4px; color: #666666; font-size: 10px;" ><a href="http://clipmarks.com/clip-to-blog/" title="see clips that are hot right now"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/clip-icon.gif" alt="" width="19" height="19" border="0" style="vertical-align: middle; margin: 0px 4px; display: inline; border: none; float:none;" /></a>clipped from <a title="http://www.ibiblio.org/ebooks/US/9-11/09.jpg" href="http://www.ibiblio.org/ebooks/US/9-11/09.jpg" style="font-size: 11px;">www.ibiblio.org</a></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.ibiblio.org/ebooks/US/9-11/09.jpg"><div align="center"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.ibiblio.org/img/6AE94AD3-61FB-49BD-8B67-D89454BAD6C0" alt="http://www.ibiblio.org/ebooks/US/9-11/09.jpg" /></div></blockquote><div style="border-bottom: solid 1px #dcdcdc; white-space: nowrap; margin-bottom: 8px; background-color: #eeeeee ;background-image: url(http://clipmarks.com/images/source-bg.gif); background-repeat: repeat-x; height: 24px; line-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle; padding-bottom: 4px; color: #666666; font-size: 10px;" ><a href="http://clipmarks.com/clip-to-blog/" title="see clips that are hot right now"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/clip-icon.gif" alt="" width="19" height="19" border="0" style="vertical-align: middle; margin: 0px 4px; display: inline; border: none; float:none;" /></a>clipped from <a title="http://www.copytaste.com/lm4179lf" href="http://www.copytaste.com/lm4179lf" style="font-size: 11px;">www.copytaste.com</a></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.copytaste.com/lm4179lf"><DIV class="postInfo"><UL><li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;"><B></B></LI>
